Our Leader
Living Image was started in 1975 by Stanley Oshry who was born a chubby little baby in 1947. After nursery school (where he drew on everything that didn’t move) he progressed through primary and high school before doing his military training with the local army.
After the army he graduated from Durban University with a B Com degree, majoring in Marketing and Economics. This was followed by articles at one of Durban's top accounting firms and he was one of only four students who started their B Com’s together in 1966 and who qualified as Chartered Accountants at their first attempt. That accounts for his swollen head. (See the caricature)
Now it was party time, and off for a two year stint in the UK where he gained experience in interior design. But it was back to RSA at the end of 1974 and down to the serious business of making a living (forgive the pun) with the opening of Living Image Interiors in September 1975.
He’s a hand-on leader with an open-door policy. Anyone can talk to him and he deals freely and directly with all customers. The downside is that he takes on too much to get through in a normal 8 - 5 day so frequently works crazy hours. But, the upside is that this has forced him to build a passionate and talented team around him . . . and this has become the strength and driving force behind Living Image.
