We thought you might like to know something a little bit different about our team rather than reading the standard blurb about our commitment to customer service and the list of awards we have won. We of course place a great deal of value on looking after all our clients but we'd rather chat to you about that and how we can help you with your situation.

What was your first job?

Casual menswear assistant & checkout operator at Kmart while I was in high school.

You are stuck on a tropical island, you've got food and drinks covered and you can have 5 other things - what's on the list?

My pillow

A shower (camping shower at the very least)

At least 10 books to read

A compass because I have no sense of direction and will most likely get lost

Enough toilet paper to get me through until I'm rescued!

Share something funny or endearing about your pet?

We adopted Lucy from the RSPCA. She immediately started biting us and continued to do so for months after adoption. We wondered if we had done the right thing, but realised if she had gone to a family with kids, she would have been returned by now. 3 years later, she is the funniest, sweetest cat who only bites with her gums now.

Describe your first car and what you loved/hated about it?

I had an old Aqua coloured Toyota with no heating or air conditioning and the passenger footwell flooded when it rained. That car took me on many adventures but was eventually traded in for something with a few more luxuries.

What we would find you doing on your perfect weekend?

Drive to Mary Cairncross for a rainforest walk, drinks somewhere with a water view, afternoon naps and as little housework as possible.
