Behind every brand is the heartbeat of a founder / owner who has worked tirelessly to grow their business to what you know and recognise today.
To honour these incredibly hardworking individuals, we pull back the curtain and invite them to step out into the spotlight to share a little about their stories to learn about their credo and how you have come to know of them.
Today we celebrate Lucy Baraya Diba, Director of Sales and Owner of Medescan.
Q1- Tell us, what was the inspiration behind starting Medescan?
Having been in the pharmacy industry for over 20 years, having noticed the lack of Australian companies is this field, and as a mother, I recognised the need for high-end diagnostic products without the high-end price tag.
As a family run business we felt it was imperative for the industry and community alike to have access to a range of products that meet and exceed the high level of standards expected within the industry while boasting great value.
It was with this notion that Medescan was born. Overall, we aspired to create a brand that was Australian and that was to be trusted by Australians.
Q2- How do you see that the world has changed since then?
The world is constantly craving more improvements, innovation and technology in everyday products. We at Medescan, aim to bring innovation and technology together at an affordable price.
Q3- Did you identify a gap in the market, then, that helped make the brand what it is now?
Absolutely, We were the first to introduce the Touchless Thermometer using infrared thermometry. At the time, being new parents, it was very stressful trying to get a screaming baby's temperature using conventional thermometers. Soon after, Medescan continued to innovate and was first to introduce into the Australian market the ultrasonic cool mist humidifier and smart thermometer.
