Jon is the National Operations Manager for PrimeBatch. Jon is a passionate leader of people and projects and thrives on seeing a job well done with a satisfied customer. For the last 20 years, Jon, originally from Scotland, has been delivering projects across the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.

When Jon’s not at work, you’ll find him spending time with the family, at the beach with the dog, singing (mostly Elvis) at karaoke, all while knocking back an ice cold Irn Bru.
