My GWT Community,
I am sitting here in my office as 2011 comes to a close looking back over the past 7 years reflecting on how far we have come since my original concept in my basement in Ottawa. Boy, what a journey! Trials and tribulations, frustrations & joy, an emotional rollercoaster of victories what we refer to as "E & E" (Excited and Exhausted).
As I look towards 2012 I don't believe that I have ever felt as excited about the future than I do right now. One thing that we tend to overlook is the fact that we are just one of a few companies that has gone through the test of time and standing strong and firm as we enter our 8th year.
Throughout the past 8 years we have gone through constant positive changes, we overcame the challenges, attacked with strong will and determination and became all the better for it. As I have always said, "If you are not getting better you are getting worse" and boy, are we getting better.
This year saw our beautiful Hong Kong office/Gallery come on line led by a dedicated EDI team all of whom are planning an insane 2012 as are the Caribbean LCs in their newly renovated and designed Caribbean Regional Office/ Distribution Center. At the same time we have just completed a revamp of our international headquarters here in Toronto which is nothing short of red carpet glamour. All of these upgrades will be a key factor in our expanding critical mass that we expect in 2012 towards the Billion.
I am still quite stunned as to how quickly we have become a household name during the year 2011, especially amongst Hollywood's celebrities. When you are told that on Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills that FERI is being called the "Celebrities Designer" you know that you have arrived and nothing can describe our feelings of pride or hide our excitement for the future.
Not only are we the fastest growing luxury designer on the planet since 2007, we are receiving more media and trade accolades than all other direct sales companies combined and we have only just begun. Bellow are just a few samples of the attention GWT Corp has been getting almost on a weekly basis:

Bellow are just a few samples of the attention GWT Corp has been getting almost on a weekly basis:
- Canadian Jewelers Association – described FERI MOSH as being "The Best Of The Best"
- Direct Sales Business Journal – recognized GWT as "The Company of the Month" world wide.
- Preferred Magazine – Celebrating the launch of our flagship time piece the astonishing FERI "President" and its inclusion as one of the world's 10 luxury watch brands.
- Viva Internationale – "The Luxury Designer Of The Year" Award
- Regard - Front cover recognition plus 12 page editorial
- Canadian Business Journal – recognized as Canada's top design company
- American Business Journal – Front page exposure with Warren Buffet
- Articles in Networking Times, Wealthy Women magazine
- The Hollywood movie "L!fe Happens" and the much raved about movie "The Forward" in which we were featured celebrating our industry
The ultimate accolade was at this year's TIFF when at the Sick Kids Charity auction the competition to purchase the FERI package was so fierce that millionaires and billionaires that were in the room bid over $50,000 dollars for FERI – twice its true retail value.
Now all those developments as epic as they are were all part of PHASE ONE. 2012 sees us entering a new phase in our growth – PHASE 2! The journey to our billion. On our January 1st MEGGGGA Webinar we will release so many monumental announcements, all of which will change the face of your business as you see it now. We are not taking anything away, we are just adding to what we already have that will elevate your opportunity to a whole new level.
So my dear friends, I thank you for your support and loyalty and as we move towards 2012 and you have my solemn promise that what I do I do for all of us. Our families, our loved ones, our futures.
See you next year,
Ramin Mesgarlou, Founder & CEO
