Bruce Cotterill

From starting his own computer company at the age of 22, to being the Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand of real estate giant Colliers Jardine by the age of 34, Bruce describes his career as a "vertical learning curve."
Along the way, he has developed a reputation for performance, particularly in the area of taking loss-making businesses into profitability. At Colliers he led firstly New Zealand and subsequently the Australian business into significant profitability, the latter despite market conditions running against him.

Mr Roger Cook, former CEO of Colliers Jardine said that Bruce Cotterill brought "a new dimension to the management team" at that organisation, and his colleagues have often referred to him as a "breath of fresh air".

Having worked within major organisations since selling his own business, Bruce is now a specialist consultant assisting service orientated organisations to enhance their profitability at all levels of their business. In addition he is developing a reputation as a dynamic conference speaker, where he draws on his unique experiences to discuss leadership, change, customer service and profitability.

In addition, Bruce speaks about Leadership. Bruce firmly believes that leadership means getting the "ownership" message through all levels of an organisation and instilling a "clarity of purpose" among the people. In addition, the major strategic shifts to embrace new opportunities need to be passionately led in order to ensure success.
