The Faces Behind JF Maintenance, Our Family Story
The Moodie Legacy:
Bob and Ann Moodie
Bob and Ann are the foundation of this story, parents to Judith and hosts to Karl during his exchange program to Australia. Bob completed his apprenticeship in 1953, quickly moving from employee to entrepreneur, starting his own business shortly after. Though Ann was initially concerned about their finances with two young children at home, her trust in Bob paid off as he built a successful construction business before briefly venturing into farming. Their family has grown to include three children, ten grandchildren, and twenty-four great-grandchildren. Their dedication to hard work and strong family values continues to inspire us all.
The Jochum Family:
Karl & Judith
Karl and Judith, the proud owners of JF Maintenance, play pivotal roles in the business. Karl, known affectionately as Dad or Papa, is one of our lead carpenters, while Judith, often called Mum or Nana, handles all administrative and financial aspects. Together, they have three children, Michael, Joshua and Abbey and four grandchildren, with two more on the way. With roots in a family farm in Germany and Canada, Karl came to Australia as an exchange student, where he met and married Judith, the daughter of his boss. Judith began her career as a real estate agent, later opening her own agency in Melbourne before transitioning to family life on the farm. The couple eventually founded JF Maintenance, a venture originally established by Judith’s father, Bob Moodie, in 1975.
William & Abbey Hope
William and Abbey are the dynamic duo of the Jochum family, being the son and daughter-in-law of Judith and Karl. They have a young daughter and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of another child. William joined JF Maintenance in 2019, completing his apprenticeship to become one of our lead carpenters, following in the footsteps of Karl. Growing up helping his dad renovate and build various structures, William thrives on crafting custom designs. Abbey initially completed her carpentry apprenticeship alongside William and Karl but transitioned to office work after welcoming their first child in 2023. Now, she uses her expertise to quote, plan, and organise jobs from an administrative perspective. In their spare time, they enjoy family life and the occasional round of golf.
Michael & Rianna Jochum
Michael, the managing director of JF Maintenance and the oldest son of Karl and Judith, oversees the day-to-day operations of the business. He is responsible for quoting and meeting with clients, ensuring that each project runs smoothly. Michael and his wife, Rianna, have one son and a new baby girl. In addition to his responsibilities at JF Maintenance, Michael serves as the president of his local golf club, taking every opportunity to hit the course and enjoy the game.
