RICHARD MANSELL

I’ve spent 35 years producing and running B2B videos and events, mostly in the FMCG sector. I always get a thrill from making a live event happen and learning something new each time. I get a kick out of anything that involves speed, two and four wheels as well as water!

The one thing I love about my job is that it’s forever evolving. I love diving into new challenges the most to create new possibilities. Designing content that goes beyond the conventional.

A short tribute to our friend and colleague Hugo Weir

All our lives changed on the 20th July 2020 when Hugo joined JB as a junior 3D artist.

He was just 20 years old, a bundle of energy and ambition, he could certainly ‘talk the talk’ – non stop!

However could he really ‘walk the walk’ and work in a team of more seasoned and senior colleagues

Like all new starters Hugo had his ups and downs… However very soon after joining he started automating repetitive manual tasks and making them faster and more efficient. We were all terribly impressed with his technical abilities and ingenuity!

Over the next few months in became clear that Hugo was pretty special.

A young guy with a singular vision and purpose, he was going to make JB VR a global sensation.

He had the technical ability, the drive, the ambition and very quickly a team that were completely aligned to his goals. Over the last couple of years Hugo comprehensively rewrote the JB VR software, making it easier to use while adding new functionality and features. He worked closely with global customers teasing out their requirements and adding them to his software development schedule.

Over the last year customers recognised JB VR as being one of the best global solutions.

Hugo was loving his career, he was developing new products, helping design customer centres and routinely chatting to the most influential movers and shakers in the FMCG industry.

When I asked him if he was satisfied with progress, he looked aghast! He thought he had achieved about 10% from his world domination list. He was super eager to take on new responsibilities and challenges, I have the feeling he would never be satisfied with an ordinary life or humdrum existence – he was driven, passionate and ambitious in everything he did!

In November 2023 Hugo was killed in a freak motorcycle accident while on holiday in Bali.

A huge tragedy and shock for friends, family, colleagues and customers.

Keith released a post on LinkedIn and emailed some of our closest customers. The heartfelt outpouring of initially disbelief then grief was incredible. Hugo has made so many friends in his short career, they were all devastated at the news.

Hugo’s life may have been short, but it was lived to the max with passion, intensity and vigour.

We will always remember him, he will always be part of JB and we will continue the work he started to make JB VIS the very best in class.

Hugo you will never be forgotten.
