Meet Jake Greenfield

Meet Burdekin Life’s new Account Sales Manager, Jake Greenfield, an adventurous soul hailing from South of London who embarked on a life-changing journey leading him to beautiful north Queensland.

Jake and his girlfriend left the UK at the start of the year in search of an adventure, without a specific plan or destination in mind.

Their travels took them through Southeast Asia before they bought a one-way ticket to Australia to discover what the Land Down Under had to offer.

The pair ventured up the east coast, with the coastal hubs of Byron Bay, Noosa and Bowen, where Jake saw his first kangaroo, capturing his attention.

“I didn’t realise the diversity of the country,” he said.

“You’ve got everything from sprawling woodlands and tropical rainforests to stunning beaches, I’m blown away.”

True beach lovers, the pair ultimately fell in love with the mesmerising beauty of Airlie Beach.

Jake joins the Burdekin Life team with sales experience born out of his love for people.

Although based in the Whitsundays, he will be travelling to the Burdekin weekly to catch up with people and businesses, friends new and old.

“I love meeting new people and getting to know new people, so I hope to bring a friendly, smiley face to the region and a name that people hopefully remember!” he said.

With a degree in photography, Jake is also excited by the prospect of contributing his creativity to the business.

“I’m in a job that enables me to get creative again and that excites me, so you might find me out and about with my camera now the dust has been blown off it,” he laughed.

With his camera in hand and a warm smile on his face, Jake is excited to continue his exploration of the Burdekin and meet everyone who makes this region great.
