Cubo Connect: Meet Gary Wilson

Tell us about yourself?

Hi I’m Gary. I was born and grew up in Dungannon. I now live in Hillsborough. Actually my family moved house 13 times. This was mostly around NI with a small stint in Australia for 18 months when I was 10 – we just didn’t stay long enough for me to gain an Australian Passport, or I would probably be there now.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family. My kids all play Sports, Rugby and Hockey, so that eats up most of my spare time. When I’m not running after them I enjoy the gym (when  I can motivate myself). Previous to Cubo employment I ran my own business supplying and fitting Smart Home solutions. I am a tech geek at heart. My favourite way to unwind is probably after a long day, rest up to a good open fire, good food, and good movie.

Favourite holiday destination?

South Africa (Cape Town then Garden route) or Florida. Would love to get back to either some day.

Favourite Movie and TV show?

The Rocky Saga right through to Creed (erasing Rocky V) / Shawshank Redemption / The Champ.

Favourite food & drink?

T-Bone Steak, Medium Rare, Pepper sauce, Triple cooked chips, asparagus tips fried in Garlic, creamy Guinness 0.0.

Favourite social media platform?

Probably Linked in or Facebook (Boastbook). Even though tech background, I’m not a big fan of social media….(More the people posting on them lol).

Have you ever met anyone famous?

I was in France with family sitting out in a café having coffee. Martin Clunes walked past. I shouted out “Martin, what about you”. He looked at me like he knew me, then realised I was a nobody, didn’t respond and walked on.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Tough One. Flying would be class. But I think it would have to be Prof Xavier. Ability to read minds would be so cool. The minds of some people I don’t think I would want to go into though lol….could be dark….

If you could meet any living person for dinner, who would you pick and why?

Sylvester Stallone. Really admire the guy for what he has achieved and continues to achieve. Although they say never meet your heroes…

What would be your walkout song in front of a packed crowd?

Pat Benatar – We Belong.

How long have you been at Cubo and what is your role?

I’ve been with Cubo for 6 years in my role as a Business Development Manager. I focus on the telecoms side of the business including landlines, broadband and IOT.

Favourite thing about working at Cubo?

The people and flexibility. Enjoy the challenges of growing my role and securing the correct solution for customers. Enjoy the satisfaction of having a satisfied customer.

What’s your favourite piece of work advice you’ve ever received?

Biblical quote that applies to Work equally – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.
