Reon Barnard
I am a husband, a family man and friend. I am someone who respects and admires the work of those who have come before me, and aim to be that for those who walk in my footsteps too.
Each day, I drive the growth of high-quality, specialised businesses. I am a stickler for the rules - no exceptions. I believe in doing the work required to interrogate the sectors in which I operate.
