It’s not every day that people get to rub shoulders with the rich and famous. But for Barry Bull, working with celebrities is like a walk in the park.
Barry is a respected and highly awarded businessman in his own right. According to The Todays Show’s Richard Wilkins, he is ‘an absolute to legend in the Australian music industry’.
Barry Bull’s career began in music retailing in 1960. After hours he would strap on his guitar and play on Brisbane’s booming band circuit with his band The Counts. He was recruited by a record company, CBS Records (now Sony/BMG Music) and rose through the ranks to become National Marketing chief through the seventies. In 1981, after ‘giving rock ‘n roll the best years of his life’, he returned to Brisbane with the ambition to shape his own destiny. It was then that he acquired Toombul Music.
Over the years, Toombul Music has won over thirty Westfield retail awards, including the prestigious National Individual Specialty Retailer Award three times. In1997 was an inaugural inductee into the Westfield Hall of Fame in recognition of outstanding retail achievement. In 2001 Barry was presented with a Westfield Legend Award, and in 2003 was honoured with a Commonwealth Centenary Medal, for distinguished achievement in business. In 2006/7 the awards kept coming, this time for excellence in a newly formed division of the company Electronic Interiors, specialising in home cinema technology.
