Evangelia Tsebertzis began her work as an Embroiderer at the Australian Commonwealth Government Clothing Factory in 1970 shortly after arriving in Australia from Greece and in just a few years had become supervisor.

After a few name changes the Australian Commonwealth Government Clothing Factory became Australian Defence Industries (ADI) and in 1993 the Ceremonial Embroidery section of ADI which had been in operation under various names since 1950 was bought by Evangelia and her husband Umit Erturk.

Spear of Fame Pty Ltd was then founded in 1993 and initially began work solely as an Embroidery company. In the years to come however Spear of Fame expanded in to manufacturing and supplying all types of regalia to Defence, Police, Academic, Masonic, Ecclesiastical and Corporate sectors throughout Australia and the Pacific.

In 2004 Evangelia Erturk was, at the recommendation of General Peter John Cosgrove, AC, MC, awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) as a Master Ceremonial Embroiderer for her dedication and exemplary work over the years, culminating in the manufacture of the Australian Army Centenary Banner.

With a number of offices in Asia-Pacific, Spear of Fame has become a truly versatile company in its supply and strategic sourcing power. This works to compliment our manufacturing both in Australia and through Asia-Pacific.

Spear of Fame is now recognised as Australia's leading Ceremonial Embroidery Company and one of Australia's leading ceremonial suppliers.
