Brendon Carpenter
Brand Marketing Manager Brendon Carpenter has spent 15 years in the motoring industry, with more than a decade proudly representing Suzuki Auto South Africa. A loyal Suzuki customer since 2008, Brendon brings his passion for the brand into everything he does as Brand Marketing Manager. For him, working at Suzuki isn’t just a job; it’s the chance to champion a brand he loves, alongside some of the coolest people in the business. One of his proudest Suzuki memories was shedding a joyful tear when the Guinness World Record was officially announced at the first-ever Jimny Gathering in Clarens, where the Suzuki community lit up with “the most vehicles to switch on their lights simultaneously.” His all-time favourite Suzuki is the DL650 V-Strom: “the best motorcycle in the world,” as he says. Away from the office, Brendon is a husband, dad, and avid adventurer at heart, happiest when hiking, trail running, road-tripping, scuba diving, or exploring on his bike.
