Aged 62, Tim Jones only has three years before he must step down from the Barry Rogliano Salles (BRS) board, but he has no plans to retire from broking or the company that has been his life for 37 years.

Brother Rod (Roger) Jones of CSL Group fame probably summed up his sibling’s character when he told TradeWinds’ quarterly magazine TW+ last year that to be a broker like Tim, "you really need that ability to bang on doors, get shot down and try 50 things before you get one”.
