John is the Operations Manager at Ochre Digital responsible for providing quotes to clients, sales and installation scheduling.

John began his career in the signage industry more than 25 years ago with Claude Neon in Sydney where he learned all aspects of sign making including; neon glassbending, plastic moulding and fabrication, metal work, electrical assembly, vinyl cutting and spray painting. He then managed the NSW service division for four years. When the factory closed, he joined the project team for a few years before relocating to Adelaide where he held roles as project manager and digital print operator for a variety of Adelaide printing companies.

Bringing his extensive knowledge and skills to Ochre Digital more than five years ago, John enjoys the diversity of his role. In addition to quoting and scheduling, he can quite often be found helping with the production and installation of projects and utilising his organisation and problem solving skills.

John has had many accomplishments throughout his career but most notably he was involved in refurbishing an iconic Coke sign at Kings Cross, project managing Olympic Live Sites across Sydney for the 2000 Olympic Games, and was later responsible for the roll out of more than 20 Beaurepaires sites across South Australia.

When he’s not challenging himself with big projects, John enjoys cooking, playing tennis, horse racing and making music.
