Jim has been working as a professional in the Commercial Real Estate industry for over 30 years.  He emigrated from the UK in 1996, worked in Sydney and then moved to South Australia in 2003. More recently, for the last 12 years, he has worked for Westfield Scentre Group in South Australia as Senior Leasing Executive.

He has been working with the Chinese business community for many years.  He has a very keen interest in China and Chinese culture and has begun to learn Mandarin.  He has travelled to a number of mainland China cities and plans further trips. He has had the privilege of being introduced to, and has recently joined, the CBNSA Association.  He looks forward to working closely with the committee and the members to continue to strengthen existing and foster new relations between the Chinese and South Australian business communities.

Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends.  His many interests include outdoor physical pursuits, hiking and boating with family and dogs, learning Mandarin, health and fitness.
