About Hugh

At 15 years of age Hugh was lucky enough to start working as a car polisher / tea boy for a British Touring Car team. This started his slippery slope into Motor Sport and eventually the 4wd industry.

Hugh studied Motor Sport Engineering in one of the first courses at Coventry University, one of the founding universities in this course designed and lead by Prodrive and Jaguar UK. He was destined for a life in Formula 1 but soon realized that he wanted to get his hands dirty in every aspect of the team, not just sit in an office designing the end cap for the front wing. He worked his way up through a few smaller teams learning car set-up and preparation until he became the Factory Manager for Anglo Motor Sport in Sydney. Here he helped the team hold the state championship for 10 consecutive years along with numerous National titles.

Hugh chose to stop his full time role in Motor Sport to branch out into his second passion 4wding. He had been building touring 4wd’s for his world travels before settling down so why not go back into it? Hugh and his wife April started Limitless Chassis by offering just chassis extensions. Over the years the company has expanded and changed direction to cover many different aspects of chassis modification, repair and design. Hugh and the team specialise in building the right product for the use at hand, so if you need a larger space cab tray on your dual cab to fit your slide on camper, or you want to carry 2400mm timber sheets on your dual cab with a single cab tray they can do this. Alternatively if you have a rusty chassis that needs a few patches or even a full re-furb the team can easily handle this, just reach out to us and see how we can help.

Brett – foreman/fabricator

How long have you been working in the industry?

To bloody long. That’s my answer, we don’t need to expand on that.

What do you hate about the job/industry?

There’s so many things, mainly rust and rams.

What do you like about the about working here:

Holidays, and locking the door when leaving. We have work shop dogs, it’s like doggie day care, oh and there’s always beer in the fridge, it’s in Jordan’s contract did you know?

Also throwing things at the boss, we have kids soft trucks, but everything is a weapon if you’re creative enough. The more frustrated I am the heavier the object.

What’s a fun fact about you?

I can’t knit well, I’ve never tried… but I’m not saying I can’t, I just haven’t tried.

Jordan – fabricator

How long have you been working in the industry?

I’ve been gluing metal together for 15 years.

What do you hate about the job/industry?

Management, just kidding Hugh, you’re alright for a pommie.

What do you like about the about working here:

Pay day, knock off time and when Hugh stocks the fridge with beers, that’s actually in my contract, Hugh offered me the job and in the email he wrote “what I could expect” and iced cold beers was listed, I asked if that was going to be on the contract? He said yes and when I received my contract there it was…

Oh and banter, that’s most of the job to be honest.

What’s a fun fact about you?

Brett: Can your crochet?

Jordan: I was a chippy before this and probably,  I haven’t tried yet but probably.

Beau – fabricator

How long have you been working in the industry?

Since I left school, I was building hotrods for a few years and then completed my apprenticeship at Limitless, been here ever since.

What do you hate about the job/industry?

It’s ruined my interest in cars! When you work on cars all day the last thing you want to do is go home and work on your own car.

What do you like about the about working here:

I’m allowed to bring my best friend to work, Tripper my Kelpie is here everyday so if I’m fighting with a rusty chassis I can offload my issues onto him, he always listens.

What’s a fun fact about you?

I build my own car from the ground up, in-fact it’s parked outside the front of Limitless every day, I built a custom chassis on airbags, custom cab and tub, a custom turbo charged LS, basically I made the whole thing and I’m really proud of it!

Ben – mechanic

How long have you been working in the industry?

8 years or more, since I left school. I’ve worked everywhere from small shops to mines and farms, just trying to gain as much experience as I can.

What do you hate about the job/industry?

The job, just kidding. Getting dirty everyday. Ohh and trays, trays are so irritating, there are so many accessories on trays these days and it takes ages to strip and label everything when we’re getting them ready for work.

What do you like about the about working here:

They’ve built a really great atmosphere, it’s more casual and less stressful then my previous jobs, I have a better work life balance and get a long weekend every weekend so whats not to like!

What’s a fun fact about you?

I’ve been riding motorbikes since I was 2, I use to race enduro but I’ve crashed one too many times so take it a bit easier these days. I mean I don’t stop crashing and riding but I don’t race any more.

Kruze – Apprentice

How long have you been working in the industry?

About 2 months! I’ve only just finished school and did my 1 day a week experience here at Limitless, I guess I did a good job as they asked me to stay.

What do you hate about the job/industry?

The dirt! I’m at the bottom of the foodshain here so I get all the dirty jobs like painting the cars and sweeping the floors.

What do you like about the about working here:

Diversity, every day there’s something different. It’s great not always doing the same thing over and over again.

What’s a fun fact about you?

I’m the only one here who doesn’t own a 4wd….. shhh don’t tell them or I’ll loose my job!

What’s a fun fact about you?

April – the real boss

How long have you been working in the industry?

Hugh roped me in when we started the business, something about being a genuine family run business.  Then we had a cute little kid so I played at being a grown up for a bit, now I’m back and making sure everything runs behind the scenes.  Hugh thinks he’s the boss but we all know the truth!

What do you hate about the job/industry?

I don’t know cars! Hugh never gives me all the info he just tell’s me 10% and I have to figure out the other 90%. It’s a good job I’m a quick thinker and have been running businesses for years so I know where I’m going….. to the beach!

What do you like about the about working here:

Everything! Actually that’s not true, I bring my Tiny Tornado in here when I come to work some days it’s amazing she sleeps right through, some days it’s like a tornado has ripped through the office, pens and post-it notes everywhere! But she’s cute so I love it!

What’s a fun fact about you?

I was a professional dancer before here, I don’t have much use for my ballet or tap shoes these days, it’s more like steel toe caps but like they say ‘you don’t forget how to ride a bike!’

Kayla – receptionist

How long have you been working in the industry?

Industry, a few months. Answering emails, calls and admin work for a couple of years now. But, I’ve been 4wd, camping or heading up the beach ever since I met my partner, 9 year ago. He’s been a fabricator since High School so I know some things… like a lathe, that’s a big machine and a mill, that’s a big machine and a plasma cutter that’s another big machine, see! I’m a one stop shop of knowledge…

What do you hate about the job/industry?

Some people think Hugh’s my Dad…oh! and Sparks farts, they’re brutal!

What do you like about the about working here:

The Team! I’m the only female here and besides paying me out for being a vegetarian (sorry Brett) they are the most respectful, funny and easy going guys ever, well, to my face.

What’s a fun fact about you?

I use to work in the radio industry.

Spark Plug

What is your job role?

Have you got any food?  I think I’m meant to be the car park controller but I get side tracked rather easily. And seriously, have you got any food?

Where can we find you?

I mostly just lie in the middle of the main road stopping traffic whilst looking for food.

Whats the best part of being a workshop dog?

Smoko! It’s soooo good! I also love to stand in front of your car when you’re trying to maneuver in the car park and I like a pat every now and again.

OK so you like food, how do you normally find food?

I walk directly across the road to the pet food shop and just steal it from their warehouse while they’re on break!
