Our story
From the get-go, we’ve been inspired to make a difference.
Manton Executives started small. Founder, Luke, was diagnosed with adult-onset Tourette’s syndrome in 2018. That made it tricky to find a job. Anywhere.
So, he employed himself. Luke began offering his expertise to friends’ companies. As word of mouth spread, other businesses reached out - and the rest is history. Manton Executives became a fully-fledged business in 2019.
Before too long, the waiting list became over 3 months. We pride ourselves on efficiency, so it was clear that the business had to expand. Since then, we’ve taken on more clients and grown our team - each member vetted and trained by Luke himself.
Say “hello”!
Meet the team
Siri and Alexa are all fun and games until you have to ask your device what the best shade of pink is. That’s where we come in.
Luke
Founder/Boss Babe
👋 Hi! I’m Luke. I have exceptional eyebrows and Tourette's syndrome. And I’m here to spice up the land of Virtual Personal Assistants. A splash of tics at a time.
I’m armed with a first-class honours degree in Business Management, Marketing & Enterprise - and I have 10 years of experience as a successful Events Manager. I can’t wait to get to know you more.
Katie
Social Media Manager/Office Entertainer
I’m Katie - a lively and bubbly spirit in the office. You’ll find me managing a bunch of social media accounts and creating some eye-catching marketing campaigns. (And pole dancing on a hat stand, while trying to fit as many marshmallows as possible in my mouth. But we won’t talk about that.)
Jane
Social Media & PA Junior/Office Mum
I’m a self-confessed organisational goddess. I dive right into sorting through emails, and shopping for Christmas presents! It’s conclusive: I’ve got a bunch of tricks up my sleeve.
Alongside my daily tasks, I manage to keep Luke and Katie on the straight and narrow. That’s impressive - because it’s a task that resembles herding cats.
Rio
Head of Security
It’s Rio’s world. We’re all just living in it.
Rio’s a tiny queen (and a bit of a Karen, depending on what mood she’s in).
Special skills: Rio only weighs 1.4kg, but can take down an average male in under 4 seconds. She can run at the speed of light, and she can plank for 3 days straight.
Dislikes: computers, paperwork, and people. Oh, and crocs.
Rocco
Food and Beverage Manager
A handsome man indeed, Rocco is all about the chill vibes. Whether it’s a sirloin steak or a cherry chapstick, he’s always happy to tuck into some quality grub.
Special skills: Rocco can eat approximately 17x his body weight (in a single sitting). He can also sleep standing up, and he invented the glue on Postit notes.
Dislikes: Exercise. Wild swimming. Empty food bowls. And the term "circle back".
