Harris, Basil & Leonie
Basil and Leonie Harris, who were originally from South Africa, established their Amway firm in June 1981, shortly after arriving in Australia.
After 5 years of Diamond status, they bought John & Gill Nuyten's business (along with Crown Ambassadors Jim & Nancy Dornan). They live in NSW.
They were Diamonds in South Africa in 2005. [1] In the next year, Kevin and Tamsine-Lee became Diamonds in South Africa.
A year later, their kid went Executive Diamonds in SA.
Success (South Africa)
Life Style Is
"The greatest benefit we can do for others is to reveal their riches to them."
Basil and Leonie Harris live a unique lifestyle, travelling the world, sharing one of the best business possibilities and winning hearts and minds. An hour with Basil Harris is a rare treat.
An accomplished businessman and entrepreneur, he avoids the media in order to spend more time with his family and friends.
As South Africans in Australia and 'Australians' in South Africa, Basil and Leonie are at home anywhere in the world, when they are together.
Being away from Macklin, the Harris' first grandchild, is even less appealing.
Their biggest fear is being away from their children, Kevin and Tamsine (Diamonds in the making) and Joanne and Ole, Macklin's parents.
Joanne spoils her firstborn, but Leonie's shopping sprees now include worldwide baby fashion retailers!
Basil and Leonie are dreaming. It was this vision that propelled them forward from London to Sydney, Singapore to New York, and throughout Australia and SA.
Leonie's passion is her company and she enjoys spending time with her family: her husband, children, and grandchildren.
She has utilised her business to reach out to others and assist them alter their lives, both economically and in terms of freedom to raise a family and live a good life.
Basil is an accountant by trade, so not going Diamond was never an option.
One of the most inspiring aspects of his business and lifestyle is his commitment to share success and knowledge with everybody, regardless of ethnicity, education level, or religious orientation.
It doesn't matter who you are or what you can become to him or Leonie.
The Harrises are in love.
Their personalities naturally lead to leadership and sharing their accomplishment.
They realise the value of thinking big, working hard, and staying focused. Their point? Go for it, Diamond. [1]
