Neil Jagger

I first met Jagger in 1977 when we were both working for Delkor In South Africa. I returned to Australia to establish Delkor – Australia in 1978. I subsequently left Delkor in 1979 and became Managing Director of Enclear P/L.

Jagger phoned me on 23/3/80. He had been sent to Australia by Delkor on a 1 year contract ending on 31/12/80. He had a 2 year temporary work permit but was keen to settle permanently in Australia and sounded me out about a possible job with Enclear.

He pestered me throughout 1980 but I was unable to commit to employing him. However I did finally agree to employ him on a casual rate of $20 per hour for a 4 month trial period and he started with Enclear on 8/1/81.

In order to obtain permanent Australian residency I gave him a written contract of Employment in May 1981.

In November 1982 I sold my shares in Enclear and formed Larox Pty Ltd with Larox OY of Finland. I gave Jagger a 15% shareholding in the company. Because he had no capital I loaned him the $30000 which was his share of the $200,000 capital needed to establish the company. It was agreed he would pay it back interest free out of future profits.

See “The Worst Day of my Life” and you will understand why I described his actions in 1988 as the worst act of treachery I have ever experienced.
