Libby Ross – Advisory Board Member
Libby was born into a motorcycling family with her father and grandfather operating one of the most successful retail motorcycle businesses in Australia.
It was inevitable she would ride at an early age and it came as no real surprise that she followed in her father’s footsteps by taking over the family business.
Up to that time Libby had a career in the entertainment industry promoting live theatre, so running a motorcycle business was a major change.
The wheel has turned again and she has since sold her motorcycle business and returned to operating her own public relations and publicity business from the comfort of her farm in the Otway Ranges. |
