Justin - Jardson Director

Justin Richardson is the Jardson director and established Jardson in late 2009.

Justin has spent over 12 years living and working in China and is a fluent Chinese Mandarin speaker.

Justin first came to China to study Chinese in 1994 in Nanjing Normal University and then returned to China to live and work in 1997. He has previously worked for the Australian government (Australian Embassy in Beijing and Visa office in Guangzhou).

In 2000, together with a local Chinese partner, Justin established an education agency specialising in sending Chinese students abroad, (China Star Corporation for International Exchange). The business sent over 250 Chinese students abroad annually and is still one of the leaders in the industry. However, Justin relinquished all ownership when he changed roles in 2005.

In 2005, Justin became the China GM for one of Australia's largest for-profit private education groups, GCM (Global Campus Management) and oversaw the China operations (including Mongolia and Russia). The role involved establishing and managing a network of over 300 education agents in North Asia and overseeing the promotion of 12 international education destinations in the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

Justin's extensive experience in the international education industry in China includes the sales and marketing promotion of international education destinations as well as establishing joint venture academic programs between Chinese and international education providers.

Over the 8 years working in the industry, Justin has built an extensive network in both China and the international education industry.

Since late 2009, Justin has been developing Jardson's business interests.
