The New Generation

Junior Staff Member Fletcher Shumski

The youngest member of the team, Fletcher is a calm and confident achiever who is soaking up all the knowledge in his first ever job. Electing to pursue an interest in everything from screen printing to digital transfers, this young man is learning a broad spectrum of skills.

At just 14 years of age, Fletcher spends some weekends and weekdays after school helping out this family business and learning skills from the ground up.

“I peel back the transfers so they’re ready to print, I’ve also tried screen printing before and peel a lot of tape off screens – anything I can do to help out really,” explained Fletcher.

“I love this job because I am always doing different stuff and learning skills that I’ll keep forever – I get to learn how to do a lot of different things.”

Fletcher has lived in the area for the past four years and attends St Catherine’s Catholic College in Proserpine.

Prior to this, he travelled Australia with his family, having many adventures along the way.

In his spare time, he likes to play AFL and go fishing or camping.

Kev and Kylie love having a young apprentice on the team. Not only does he bring a vibrant young energy to Shirtfront Solutions, he also represents the continuation of skills that are now being passed onto a new generation.
