The Team

The people behind the creation of Jesters are as unique as their
pies. Have a read of their backgrounds and you will be filled with confidence – not only in the quality and integrity of Jesters Jaffle Pies – but in the system and support behind becoming a franchisee.

Grant holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Auckland University. He has spent a number of years in the UK and Europe after working for a range of companies in Construction, Gold Bullion and Conferencing in senior financial positions. In 1993, he joined CD Marketing Communications as Finance Director. In 1997, he was appointed General Manager and worked in that role until 2000. He has also worked as a consultant in areas of restructuring and finance.

All Jesters pies fillings are produced in the Auckland based manufacturing facility. In-house manufacturing provides access to a full-time head chef - making product development easier and more cost-effective whilst ensuring franchisees are able to share the benefits that are associated with the economies of scale of a growing store network. Robin has extensive experience in the food industry where he learnt his trade at Air New Zealand and went on further to manage a number of Food Related businesses before joining Jesters in 2006.
