My love affair with the car industry started back in the mid 1960’s.
A career never intended, never planned.
My mother Rebecca McGartland Murphy McLeish wanted her favourite son to be an accountant just like her. She was a wizard with numbers, as are a lot of my family.
My mum could do numbers in her head faster than a speeding bullet and, was super accurate as well.
But me? I'm hopeless!
The Marist Brothers at Chanel College tried their hardest, but failed miserably in my case.
I’ve always struggled with numbers.
But in the end, and to keep my mum happy, I took to that "bean counters" path and got a very, very, very boring office job.
My path was kind of pre-ordained by mum.
Then mum read the position vacant section of The Sydney Morning Herald.
"Trainee Accountant Wanted. On site training for the right candidate.
Contact Tom Matthews, of Tom Matthews Motors, Condamine Street, Balgowlah for more details"
Mum handed me the paper with a huge smile and a reassuring nod of her head.
With that, my rewarding and enjoyable journey in the automotive industry began.
