About Us

Paul Mandell has been running a promotions business since 1996 the idea which started with a meeting with Paul’s father during which his father spilled some coffee.  In a sudden flash of insight, Paul decided to create cleaning rags, a particularly fortunate idea since he had been offered a whole shipment of unsold diapers which he ended up buying and re-functioning into cleaning rags.  These were then sold to various property management companies, who incidentally expressed an interest in uniforms, which meant that Paul Mandell moved into the uniform business as well.

Ever the consummate entrepreneur Paul also moved into the promotional items business and customized embroidery.

Paul is a gifted salesman and entrepreneur and has a heart for the community. His local bank manager connected him to Centre 55 (a local community centre dedicated to the welfare of Beach residents) and ever since then Paul has regularly donated prizes for the organization’s golf tournament, an important fundraiser. He has also been running the putting contest.

Over the last few years he has been more involved and wanted to generate additional funds to help feed people. He donated Hot Dogs for the barbecue during the Beaches Jazz Festival and worked at the event as well. The barbecue has become a regular part of the Jazz Festival and now raises even more funds for local community programs.

Paul is a recipient of one of the coveted Centre 55 Jackets, awarded to him as a result of his extensive volunteering with Centre 55 Community Programs.
