How do our clients describe Brett?
To a man and woman, it’s always the same: ‘a salt of the earth country guy’.
Brett hails from Mudgee in the Central West of NSW, an area renowned for its food, wine and eclectic farming mix.
And if ever there was anyone you’d want to share a bottle of vino and a laugh with, it’s our Boss Of All Things.
We coined that title for Brett because we find humour in its paradox. Brett is the least ‘bossy’ person you’ll ever meet, yet the most brilliant at seeing the big picture, keeping his eye across everything and making things happen.
Brett has a special way about him that makes everyone from his clients and massive contingent of mates to the team here at Motor HQ feel good – confident and secure, happy and looked after.
His shearer Dad and special needs teacher Mum instilled a ‘just get on with it’ work ethic and a grounding of ‘respect and understanding for people’ that define Brett today.
The family man and confessed sports tragic is as fair dinkum as you’ll get and the ultimate team player.
Whether he’s inspiring us here at Motor HQ, lining up with his over 35s soccer squad, cheering on his beloved NRL Roosters or coaching his three children’s soccer teams, you always know you can count on Brett.
Brett left school at 15 when he was offered a job at a Mudgee bank. At 21, he felt the time was right for a sea change and traded the bush for the big smoke.
In Sydney one thing led to another and his banking career soon morphed into trading cars. With his approach and wits, Brett soon etched a winning reputation in the automative space and has never looked back.
Unsurprisingly, one word sums up why he loves working with cars – people.
“For me it’s more about the people than the cars,” Brett says. “I like doing a deal and I like dealing with people. I’m not a car person at all, but I enjoy the business of the transaction process and looking after my clients.
“That’s why I’m excited about Motor HQ – we can offer a service that’s a win-win.”
The ‘busy and quick’ nature of the Motor HQ process also appeals to Brett’s nature and, as with his move to Sydney, he feels the time is right for our new car buying service.
“After 30 years spent understanding the car space, I’ve seen the way people transact cars change,” he says. “Long gone are the days of advertising your car in the newspaper and trusting the people who turn up at your door.
“It’s all online now and I think a lot of people don’t really understand what’s involved in selling a car. It can be a very complicated, risky and time-consuming maze to work through.
“That’s why we launched Motor HQ – to make selling your car simple and safe, enjoyable and hassle-free.”
