My name’s Murray Grossmith, fresh off the plane from good’ol’blighty, and glad to have joined the TimeZoneOne team here in sunny New Zealand.

I have been in the design industry for the past 15 years working as a creative director with brands as varied as American Express, Wall’s, Palmer & Harvey, Kangol, Nectar and Sony. I spent the past eight years running a successful agency in Brighton, small but with big clients – hard work, but also lots of fun. I loved running my own business but my move to NZ was more about the bigger picture, wanting to spend more quality time with Sally (my wife) and Noah (my little lad) and for all of us to have a big adventure.

To give you a little window into my world…within the last 4 months I have…. sold my house, sold my car, found out I am going to be a father again (a daughter this time!), got secretly married, had a complete life laundry (amazing what people will buy on ebay), said goodbye to many dear family and friends, sold my business, spent a scary 10 days being told I may have cancer (but am fine now!), shipped everything I own without insurance (currently someplace north of Hong Kong), spent 26 hours on a plane with manic one year old, bought a new car, rented a new house, saw the exchange rates crash whilst I watched Noah (my little boy) learn to walk. It’s been mad, and I’m still waiting for the winter to arrive, but we are loving it now we are finally here…

You only live once, and life is way too short as it is…we wanted adventure and that’s what we have got in spades, and it’s only just the start!
