Classic and timeless: Jackson鈥檚 version of good style is immediately apparent as I lay eyes on him at in Kelowna. Originally from Scotland, Jackson trained as an electrician, and from a young age enjoyed car projects and motorsport.

鈥淭he electrical industry led me to gain a qualification in Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment and the ability to pursue a career where I could be around cars and technology, which are two of my biggest passions,鈥� Jackson says.

鈥淲hen I moved to Canada in 2018, I saw there was an opportunity to use my skills and experience to assist both car dealerships and prospective EV buyers. I could see the Okanagan was on the verge of an electric vehicle revolution, and I was able to establish as the go-to company for all things EV-charging related.鈥�

Jackson gets fired up when he sees people鈥檚 reactions to switching to an EV vehicle.

鈥淚 am exceptionally lucky to be one of the people in life who genuinely enjoys their work. I love the wide variety of people I meet on a daily basis and the pleasure and excitement they get from seeing my vision come to life for their EV charging solution鈥攚hen everything just 鈥榳orks鈥� and the transition to electric is seamless.鈥�

What innate quality has led to Jackson鈥檚 success?

鈥淗ard work and loyalty. Always look after the ones who look after you.鈥�

And what鈥檚 the best life lesson he鈥檚 recently learned?

鈥淭hat鈥檚 an easy one: life is short, so enjoy every minute and live it to the fullest. As clich茅 as it sounds, having watched my father鈥檚 battle with cancer and ultimately his untimely death, health is wealth. If you don鈥檛 have your health, you have nothing. Use your time to make those around you happy. Don鈥檛 get so wrapped up in making money that you forget to have a life and enjoy the now. Too many people miss out on the best things in life because they are so focused on achieving wealth or a title. F鈥攌 that, enjoy life and make memories!鈥�

Clothes/Grooming

Uniform: Depends on the setting/occasion. I spend time on construction sites, as well as in board rooms/offices, so I have to adapt my outfit to suit. I find a crisp white shirt is great for all occasions, and is one of the most versatile weapons in my fashion arsenal.

Current go-to clothing item: Polo Ralph Lauren Performance Tracksuit in navy. When working from home, this is my go-to, as it鈥檚 great for the house and provides maximum comfort.

Currently coveting: Authentic WW2 B-3 sheepskin pilot鈥檚 jacket.

Favourite pair of shoes: Adidas Samba Super, Classic European Edition. I have a new pair that I wear and I still have my Dad鈥檚 old pair that he wore while mowing the lawn. I now wear those ones when mowing my lawn! I guess they have a certain sentimental value and remind me of home.
