Talk:Berlei

TV series?
Was there a TV mini-series about Fred Burley???? I am familiar with a movie called Undercover that was about Burley and Berlei. Can we get a source or reference for this information? --RichardAmes 08:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Structure of page
I think there are three subjects here:

1. The brand (or trademark) 'Berlei'.

2. The company and companies (Berlei Limited) which were originally Australian. Then the NZ and UK decendents. The various takeovers and splitups..... Hestia, Dunlop Australia, Pacific Brands, etc. In this connection other people may be mentioned: Hurley, Michael Hershon.

3. The bio of the Founder.

Originally Australian??? - It still is! Pacific Brands based in Melburne owns it, together other companies they now own such as, Dunlop, Swan Lee, King Gee etc

I think the writer must of got confused with the Berlei subsidary in England that is a company in it's own right that just markets the Australian product.

Powerhouse reference
The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney has a lot of Berlei material. A copy of their page is at: http://www.webcitation.org/5cURSP5zj —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariconte (talk • contribs) 06:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Controversy re Pacific Brands manufacturing
Berlei is a brand of ladies underwear. The brand now belongs to Pacific Brands and they are the entity that arranges the manufacturing. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 05:38, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Controversial Founder
I wonder if anybody would be interested in adding in some of the controversial things that Fred Burley had said or done. For instance his support for Apartheid http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article59469483 etc?  Petedavo talkcontributions  04:44, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
