POWERLITE-UNITS.COM - Key Persons
Jason is the technical brain behind the Powerlite operation. If Powerlite were a James Bond film, Jason would be Q. Jason has designed and tested every Powerlite unit in our range. He was also responsible for the innovative design of the "Dynalite" - our high performance dynamo replacement. Jason has been involved in car electrics throughout his working career, long before he went bald. After training as a bench auto electrician, he progressed to full vehicle wiring systems, diagnostics and breakdowns (vehicle, not mental. Although he has been close). He has been at Eurolec since 1998 where, along with controlling the Powerlite operation, he is also our plant manager and has responsibility for fixing broken machines and workmates. Outside of work, Jason likes to build and fly model aeroplanes and tinker with his self-built Westfield kit car.
Julian has been with the company since 1996 and is responsible for all aspects of parts sales and dispatch. Julian has an incredible, encyclopaedic knowledge of auto electrical parts and vehicle fitments, having been an integral part of the Eurolec re-manufacturing operation and now heavily involved in Powerlite. He knows more about starter motors and alternators than David Attenborough does about animals and is affectionately known in the office as "Joogle". Customer service is one of Julian's main strengths, and he is held in very high esteem by both his colleagues and customers. His willingness to help customers and provide a solution to their problems has been one of the main reasons behind Powerlite's success over the last 15 years.
Michael joined the family company straight from college and has now been with the company for over 35 years. He has worked in every area of the business, from old core sorting to van sales, and his waistline has grown at the same pace as his knowledge of auto electrical parts. Michael's main role as MD is to oversee sales and marketing of the Powerlite range, along with new business development and new product lines. Along with Jason, he was instrumental in setting up the Powerlite operation, creating both the brand name and logo as well as the initial catalogues and range of parts. In his spare time, Michael is an author of comedy travel books (available at www.grumpymad.co.uk) and part-time stand-up comedian. He also writes hilarious company bios.
