the “4P’s”, he completed a Business Masters (focussed on Strategy & Marketing) in the early 2000’s. This resulted in him being even less sure about marketing than when he started but….. It made him very clear about the importance of customer centric strategy and building real engagement with the people that pay our invoices. For the past 25 years he has been at the “bleeding edge” of the e-commerce, digital marketing, brand and social media revolutions in marketing. Despite these fundamental shifts his three marketing mantras has remained the same: “Our next best customer is the one we have served well”, “Build the Brand, Build our Business” and “BS Free is Best”.

From the age of 12 he has been a car, 4WD and off-road tragic.  Working for JAX offers him the opportunity to be in a world he loves. Building off-roaders and restoring old rust buckets (and then breaking them) continues to keep him amused.
