Corporate - The Future

One of the most rewarding experiences for Bob Jane in recent years has been to see his son, Rodney, join the business. After many years in a variety of roles in motor sport event management and tyre manufacturing, Rodney arrived at Bob Jane T-Marts and began working from the ground up. Unafraid of getting his hands dirty, Rodney eagerly started out with the franchisees, learning the basics of the business and giving himself a thorough knowledge of his father’s company. In 1999, Rodney joined the T-Marts executive team, developing business relationships with suppliers and franchisees.

In 2002 Rodney stepped into his father’s shoes, taking over the position of Chief Executive Officer of Bob Jane T-Marts. Since then Rodney has shown the business acumen and sheer determination that is characteristic of his father, who guided his son every step of the way.

But in true family tradition, Rodney has inherited more than his father’s head for business – he has also displayed strong passion for motor racing.

Since 2003 he has been managing and driving for the Rodney Jane Racing team in the Carrera Cup Series. Driving the number 7 GT3 Porsche in the fastest "one-make" championship in the world, Rodney has steadily been improving in each race of this highly competitive category.

There is little doubt that his spirit of determination and dedication to win that he shares with his father, will go a long way to ensuring future success in the both the world of tyre retailing and motorsport.
