We asked the main winners for the all expenses paid trip to Maranello Italy some quick questions and for a video, see what they had to say below:

In the first blog we ask Patrick questions and had a video from Jandre, this time we have changed that around.

Jandre Marais

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Growing up on a farm just outside of Ermelo I was always interested in the mechanics of machines.  Following my passion I went on to complete my B.Eng degree in Mechanical engineering.  I was then blessed with the opportunity to work for a mining conglomerate where I focus mainly on mobile equipment in terms of acquisitions and maintenance.  I have since developed my career further in obtaining professional status in both project management (PMP) and Professional Engineer (Pr.eng).    

How did you come across EasyEquities?

I was not happy with the returns that I received from my managed investments and thus I started educating myself and attending investment courses in the aim to trade shares in my personal capacity.  With my main focus on  ease of investing and low transaction costs.  After a quick search on the web I came across EasyEquities, I registered, tested the demo for a few weeks and the rest is history.  

What do you like best about EasyEquities

As the name states its really easy to invest, the platform is very interactive and easy to understand.  This makes investing fun with everything that I need all in one place.

Why did you enter the competition?

It’s been a lifelong dream to work as a design Engineer for Ferrari, entering the competition and owning shares in Ferrari is a way for me to get closer to my dream.  Also, owning Ferrari shares, I mean that’s pretty cool!

What does winning the prize mean to you?

What can I say, the word Ferrari gives almost any person Goosebumps.

It still feels unreal that I am going to the home of Ferrari in Italy.  I must still be dreaming but it seems that dreams do come true.  There is no better way to drive a Ferrari than doing it in the mountains of Maranello

Patrick sent us a video on how excited he is about the trip - see below:
