In December 1992, Graham Mulligan established Clockwise, a clock and watch repair business, after completing the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) course. He started in a single garage at his home for the first twelve months. The next nine months were conducted from a room at the rear of Granny’s Antiques in St John Street, followed by premises for ten years in Elizabeth Street. Growth in business and the need for more space saw Clockwise move back to St John Street, formerly occupied by antique dealer and friend Russell Venn. After eight and a half years, Clockwise moved to York Street in March 2013. In August 2019 the retail side of the business closed and Graham and Sallie relocated to a large workshop in Thistle Street West, South Launceston to focus more on repairs. In 2020, the challenges of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in the launch of a new website to reintroduce sales. Graham Mulligan is self-educated and skilled in manufacturing parts no longer available and has been responsible for the upkeep of the Launceston Town Clock since about 2005. Launceston Town Clock: 2008, Major overhaul and service. Hand built clocks: Graham has manufactured several unique Tasmanian hand-made clocks, one featured in the British Horological Journal in 2010.
