Jojo is the person you go to if you are seeking new ideas to create new revenue streams or you are under pressure to meet your targets. He is an embodiment of creativity and he always has an idea up his sleeve. It usually does not end there with Jojo. He will roll up his sleeves and put in the shift to execute whatever strategy he has set out out to implement. It is always a pleasure to have him on your team

Jojo was a joy. I had the privilege of teaching him on his Master's course at Westminster and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He arrived a star and continued to shine for the whole year. His commitment and professionalism were only outshone by his humility and popularity with the whole course, lecturers and students alike - who voted him, I do recall, "the one most likely to be the next Richard Branson". What a fine ambassador for the west coast he was. What a great guy to know. Jojo's success will be inevitable. TW
