With a strong background in both sales and management, Jamie leads with integrity, passion, and a focus on results—bringing out the best in those around him.
Originally on track to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering after studying Science and Technology, Jamie’s career took a defining turn at age 19 when he stepped into a role at a local car dealership. He quickly recognised the opportunities the automotive industry had to offer and immersed himself in every aspect of the business—from grooming and service through to front-line sales. This hands-on foundation gave Jamie a true understanding of the industry from the ground up, and it's a perspective he draws on daily in his role today.
Jamie is a natural communicator and a values-based leader, respected for his supportive style, honest guidance, and ability to build strong relationships with both his team and customers. He thrives in the dynamic, fast-paced environment of the dealership and is proud to work in a business that shares his own values of integrity, family and long-term commitment.
Jamie’s wife, Keta Ferrari, is also a high achiever in the sales world, with more than a decade in real estate under the Ray White brand. She was recently recognised with Premier Status and a Customer Excellence Award—testament to her hard work and consistent results for clients.
Family sits at the heart of everything Jamie does. Their eldest, Orion, is a proud soldier in the New Zealand Defence Force. Their daughter Bella Rose is in her final year at Marian College while also running her own dog walking business, Happy Tails, and working a second job. With strong ambitions, she plans to enter the New Zealand Police once she finishes her studies. Youngest son Milan is a standout athlete on the basketball court, proudly representing St Bede’s College, and is already showing huge potential in the sport.

James joins the team at Chevron in 2022 as our yard hand. He graduated University in 2017 with a bachelor of science in geology.
Despite this James' heart has all ways been in cars. He recalls a time in his childhood when his father would take him around the city to different car yards to see all the cars, he had picked out of the newspaper classifieds the day before. Beginning a lifelong obsession with anything on four wheels.
When James' thoughts aren't about cars you will often find him thinking about them in a much smaller scale. He is often adding to his ever-growing Hot Wheels collection much to his partners disappear. A collection he one day dreams about turning into full scale.
James enjoys much of his time off out attempting to regain control of his garden with the help of his cats Percy and George.
