Jon, Shirley and our labrador Holly, Just another day at the "office"
We are 5th generation kiwis. Jon, originally from Wellington, Shirley from farming stock in the Hawkes Bay. We met as tertiary students in Auckland and spent much of our married life in that city.
Now retired, but like all New Zealanders we have travelled extensively, much of it business related. Jon a professional engineer, worked with Corporates both as a Design Engineer and in Management. Jons life long hobby has been racing performance enhanced 911 Porsches.Post 'quake Jon hung up his helmet and latterly, was the race coordinator for the NZ Pirelli Porsche series.
Shirley's career path led to Market Research. As a Qualitative reseacher she engaged with both New Zealand and International Company decision makers identifying business opportunities here and abroad. Change management and promoting positive corporate culture also formed part of her portfolio. Work took her Trans Tasman, around the Pacific rim into Asia and the Board rooms of London. As Director of a large international organisation, each day was exciting,interesting and very demanding.
