About Our Founder
My husband, JHA’s founder, Jeffrey Hills has played a fundamental and respected role in the engineering industry throughout Australia.
Jeff excelled in innovation. His entrepreneurship, drive and strategic vision led to the creation of JHA Australia and the success that followed. Jeff’s primary motivation was always to give his clients an honest and accurate appraisal of their engineering needs.
In 2019 my Husband Jeff and my eldest son Matthew tragically passed away.
Both Jeff and Matt’s charisma, energy and optimism won them the confidence, support and loyalty of many. Inspired by Jeff’s encouraging attitude to carry on, the JHA Group continues to operate with the same values of honest and excellent service, forming part of Jeff and Matt’s legacy. I am and always will be grateful to the wonderful staff, clients and associates of JHA who continue to operate within Jeff’s vision.
