Meet John Fairbrother - the newest addition to the Lightforce family!
Jun 18, 2010

It is with great pleasure, that we announce the appointment of our Sales & Marketing Director, John Fairbrother.

With a background in international sales and marketing (Business Degree and Diploma in Marketing), John was born in England & has worked in many countries for a variety of companies but mainly in the packaging B2B sector. Most recent positions held were with Detpak and Carl Zeiss Vision.

John and his family (wife Sue and daughter Nuala) migrated to Australia in 2006 and now live in Stirling, in the Adelaide Hills. John and his family are embracing Australia and all it has to offer, with one of their favourite family past times - the great Aussie Family Camping Holiday! Although they have already seen many places, they are rapidly gaining an appreciation of how big Australia is and the diversity it has to offer, when John heard about the opportunity to join Lightforce, he jumped at the offer to mix his passions.

Since joining Lightforce in early June, John is on a rapid learning curve to understand the philosophies of the company, the people and the products. One of the first things John learnt is that Lightforce products are not ordinary. Which he sensed is due to the passion and commitment the staff have to product quality and performance. He feels fortunate that he has an opportunity to combine his passion of the outdoors with some of the best products designed and produced for the outdoors. In addition to this, John is working in a company alongside people whose expectations match his own in ensuring high standard of quality, innovation and providing exceptional customer service. Even in these early days, John has begun to realise that it is no accident that Lightforce has become the best in the world. The passionate attention of Lightforce staff to the quality of the products, the focus on research and development and the complete commitment to building strong, rewarding and lasting relationships with business partners is evident and the whole organisation. John’s career has only just begun and he is relishing the challenge ahead of him.

Welcome!
