Justin works with an enormous love of business, people and brands to ensure that our client’s brand and marketing strategies are taken from blank-sheet to execution through to measurable success.

A pragmatic and capable individual, Justin brings over twenty years high-profile business experience, having held leadership roles within a number of global companies.  Following study at Imperial College in London, Justin’s early career began in sales management.  At the age of 29, he was appointed Managing Director of a UK division of a large Swiss industrial company.  After being sold to Schneider Electric, the world’s number two within the field of electrical control and automation, Justin held a number of sales and general management roles focussed within Asia and the US, latterly as global Vice President for a £250M division manufacturing high-technology industrial products.  During this seven-year tenure, Justin was exposed to world-class brand development and participated in a number of significant re-brands and business turnarounds.

Having a thirst for independence, Justin co-founded Futurestech S.a.r.l in Strasbourg in 2005, which achieved rapid growth, quickly winning a succession of clients as far afield as Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the UK.  One client, Parvalux, required operational leadership to turnaround a sixty year-old manufacturing business in decline.

Justin rose to the challenge, took the role as Managing Director, and in the space of four years, re-positioned Parvalux as the UK’s largest manufacturer of small-geared motors and more than doubled revenue from £6M to £14M.  A turnaround highly regarded and well covered in the UK press, the focal point was a complete re-think on the brand proposition that culminated in an acquisition and a completely fresh approach to the market.

Justin studied BSc (Eng) at Imperial College (London University), completed his MBA at Kingston University Business School (London).
