Mr John Allaway

About John

I'm a sales and marketing guy, lucky enough to make MD, with experience in Food & Drink (Burtons, Alpro, Hipp, Faith in Nature). I joined Mitsubishi Pencil in Mar '24, bringing transferable skills in strategy, leadership, and brand building. My mantra is 'don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness'. As a mentor, I listen, challenge, and support—helping others grow by learning & doing.
