Jimmy studied marketing and his early working years were spent in the engineering industry.He was first exposed to the operational side of the restaurant industry when he was asked to help out a family member who had an interest in a problem restaurant.When the problems were resolved and he returned to the engineering industry he realized his true passion lay in serving people and making them happy. He opened three successful restaurants prior to the first Jimmy’s Killer Prawns which was literally “Born from a dream".The old mining house where the first Jimmy’s Killer Prawns was run from had previously been the site of a failed restaurant. When he was offered the site he and his wife Penny fell in love with it and signed for it without knowing what they would do with it.
