• In 2012, I created the UK Jeep Owners Club, (the largest Jeep Brand UK Club) where I developed a company logo and merchandise as well as an online platform for enthusiasts to engage with one another (5,000 members). I also developed a strong relationship with Jeep UK and USA and would arrange Jeep demonisation days where Jeep UK would provide new Jeep models for Club members to try out in real world conditions, in addition I have set up various Jeep focused entertainment events for families, creating a child friendly atmosphere to include the younger participants. This I would market using a dedicated Facebook page and informative YouTube videos. I also held TV interviews, and press events at official Jeep events throughout Europe & UK. In 2016 Jeep USA also arranged a very rare factory Tour in Toledo Ohio USA for a small group of Club members including myself.
