Staff Profiles New Zealand

Kia Ora, I joined Southern World in September 2002 and have been involved in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry in one form or another for most of my working life. Prior to my time at Southern World you would have found me working for companies such as Mitchell Corp Hotel Group, Newmans Holidays in the UK and Harrods Dept Store. Over the years I've washed dishes in commercial kitchens, served royalty and lords and ladies, pulled pints in a traditional London pub and sold flights to all points of the compass. My favourite past time is without a doubt travel and I have been fortunate enough to visit most places in the world that interest me. I live with my wife, our two cats, and have been known to ramble around the hills of Christchurch on my mountain bike from time to time.
My favourite part of New Zealand is the West Coast of the South Island, remote with a rugged coastline, dense native forests, glaciers and an interesting pioneering history the West Coast offers a uniquely kiwi experience.
