Chris has the automotive industry in his DNA, growing
up in a family who ran wrecking yards and as a trained
mechanic and businessman - he is a passionate
advocate for the industry and uses this experience as
a consultant to some of Australia’s largest spare parts
companies.

Professionally, he’s been in the industry for more than two decades starting out as a mechanic before moving into dismantling where he managed the recycling operations for Australia’s largest automotive dismantler for almost eight years. His experience in growing operations and steering sustainability initiatives across the business sees him well placed to drive the industry into the 21st century.

Having worked on both sides of the equation, Chris
has seen the challenges both wreckers and repairers
face when sourcing used parts and his vision to use
technology to better connect the two has been the driving force in developing the Wreckonnect platform.

With almost two decade’s experience designing,
developing and managing technology projects across
SME’s, greenfield start ups and large corporations,
Justin’s IT expertise is the driving force behind the
technology used to power WrecKonnect.

He has been co-founder and an avid investor in multiple technology based start ups, developing cloud based retail POS systems, strategically planning technology roadmaps and overseeing the  implementation of custom projects for large corporates and government agencies as a technology consultant.

Having worked in the automotive aftermarket industry for
years, Justin is well versed in the technology required to help wreckers and repairers connect easily through the WrecKonnect platform, developing and designing the user experience and managing the IT team.
