Who are we?
UVUE sets the standard in Dealership land as the market leader in Dash Cams, delivering unparalleled quality, customer service and reliability. We understand the importance of maintaining a dealerships reputation and that’s what drives our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our products and service.
Our Dash Cams are engineered specifically for the dealership market, featuring unique enhancements, and upgraded features designed by direct feedback from our founder to our manufacturer in Korea – a collaboration that sets us apart from all other brands. With UVUE, both dealerships and their customers can rely on a brand they trust for top of the range performance and consistent quality.
MESSAGE FROM THE BOSS
I launched UVUE approximately 8 years ago and we’ve since become a leading brand in the dealership world. Our journey has involved handwork, perseverance and a dedication to excellence. We’ve travelled to Korea (twice) to refine and perfect our products based on our observations, but I think it is our commitment to outstanding customer service that remains at the heart of everything we do.
Our remarkable team is a major contributor to our success. From our talented marketing team ensuring clear, concise communication to our sales team and consultants providing in-depth product knowledge for customers benefits and our highly skilled installers known for their efficiency, care and expertise, we strive for excellence at every level.
Customer satisfaction is our top priority and our shared dedication to this value forms the foundation of our success. I’m grateful to work alongside such exceptional individuals who uphold our vision every day.

Cherie Martre-Gogerly - Bookings Co-Ordinator
I’m fairly new to the automotive industry from a work perspective, approximately 3.5 years. However, my upbringing was immersed in the world of vehicles, thanks to my Dad who worked as an Auto Elec. I proudly label myself as a V8 petrol head, and being married to a Car Salesman ensures that cars have always been a significant part of my life.I jumped at the opportunity to work with UVUE because I’d heard really good things about the company and management (I can now confirm that personally too). So now I am officially the Bookings Co-ordinator, and I love it. It keeps me busy, I get to liaise with all types of people, have some fun with great personalities, and build meaningful relationships.
Out of work, if I’m not too exhausted, I dabble in the space of creative art and upcycling furniture. I love being creative, and this allows me to be expressive.
Home life consists of my husband and 3 teenagers (hence the exhaustion – hehe) and our beautiful pets, 2 dogs, and a Beardie.
Erika Wager – Sales Manager
Erika has a wealth of experience in building businesses, starting her own in the automotive industry over 25 years ago selling Aftermarket products teaming up with Rod McLaren over 8 years to launch their own brand of Dash Cams. It has grown to be the company that is most trusted in the trade.
She has since built an e-commerce business in wearable technology & tracking which was shortlisted in a nationwide competition by Deloitte’s Decoding Dementia in 2019.
And her 3rd company has revolutionised offshore BPO.
Like Henry Ford, she understands the power of surrounding herself with experts in their fields. While she navigates the “ship” to success, she instils a sense of ownership, pride in association and an unrivalled connection to do your best for the good of the team.
Erika is an innovative, ethical leader and an entrepreneur who has dedicated her life to providing outstanding service to all her employees and customers.
Erika’s values Freedom, to do what she wants whenever she wants and help others do the same
Angie Schmitzer – Marketing Manager
I’ve worked in the car trade for about 25 years before joining forces with Erika. In fact, in August 2024, I will celebrate 23 years with Erika and 8 years with Rod.
Workwise, I’m a people person. I started in Reception, then Customer Service, Sales, Sales Rep and for the last 10 years or so I have been focusing on Sales and Marketing. If you were to ask me what do I love most about my work, I’d say it’s helping others succeed and thrive!
I love the team we’ve built at UVUE! We are all likeminded, caring and ethical people. I think this attributes to not only our success but the longevity of our business. I’m really proud to be a founding member.
I have a love of photography and enjoy taking photo’s of our 20 acre farm including my family, dogs, ducks and reptiles… I’m into gardening, exercise, and camping although I do love a resort on a tropical paradise.
Lisa Keenan – Scheduler and Accounts
I’ve been an accounts lady for over 25 years and worked with Erika for over 20 of those and with UVUE since its inception!
I’m the go to person for bookings, accounts, invoicing and ordering….and pretty much the person who answers everyone’s questions. Except for tech. I’m not the tech person, that’s for sure!
I love my job and I love our team. I’m lucky to have formed some great relationships at the dealerships too.
I’m family orientated and I love my sport; I’m a big footy fan as well as all water sports especially wakeboarding and skiing.
Andrea Morrell - Accounts Executive
I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years and working with the lovely UVUE team for about 7. Best 7 years of my career.
I LOVE the team I work with. I love the integrity of UVUE, the ongoing training, the calibre of products, the support, the love and the yummy lunches we often have on meeting days. Food brings people together, right?
I love the work I do too. Helping people succeed and making a real difference to their lives is important to me.
My life is all about my people; my family and friends, my gorgeous grandchild and my 2 fur babies Abby and Shiloh (my 2 rescue German Sheppard/ x Samoyed dogs).
Carolyn Towel - Accounts Executive
I’ve worked with the amazing team at UVUE for about 7 years, personally ‘been in the chair’ (selling direct to customers) for almost 20 years and in the industry for over 30. I love representing UVUE as I know we have the most superior products by far. I need to believe in a product, its important to me.
I love the people I work with! I feel we are a united, close team full of likeminded, caring team members that I call my personal friends. I’ve also developed really great relationships with the Dealerships consultants. I love being their support. I feel accomplished when I help them help others. It gives me pride and satisfaction.
My personal life is all about food, cooking, travel, friends, family, laughing and lots of fishing. I love my life!
Lee Mitchell - New Business Development
I’m one of the newer girls on the block only joining the team about 3 years ago although I’ve been in the industry for 20.
First and foremost, I love who I’m working with! I’m so fortunate to have finally found a lovely group of people to work alongside. I love sales…..and in this role, I especially love the customer contact. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping them do their best.
My biggest achievements are my sons, especially my 13 year old that was diagnosed at age 4 with Autism, ADHD, ODD, Motor Tourette’s and was extremely aggressive from lack of communication skills. I was told he’d never talk or lead a normal life. I chose to invest all that I had to give him the best opportunities. We proved everyone wrong. He now goes to a mainstream school, plays team sport, is a good communicator and has good friendships. Its has not been an easy road and quite honestly, the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
I’m passionate about my boys being the best versions of themselves.
My other passions include Pilates, walking with my Cavoodle and animals…I’m a massive animal lover!
Rob Percic – Accessories Technician
I consider myself a Tech Head. I’m a qualified Electronic Technician but I now only do that as a hobby. I enjoy fitting Dash Cams etc for the Dealerships because we work with a great bunch of people – we all seem to just get along. I’ve got some great regular customers, but I also get to meet different people.
I’ve recently moved to the country which I love. My passions include motor bike riding, fixing computers and creating the lighting and sound for stages.
Peter K – Accessories Technician
I’ve been in the motor trade as an Auto Electrician for over 50 years starting my career back in Ireland. I’ve been doing aftermarket fits for 35 years and with the UVUE team for 5. Its been a good 5 years. I’ve known most of the other fitters for a long time so its great to be working together.
I love the variety of jobs and the fact that its outside physical work. I could not work in an office. I like the fact that as vehicles change and improve, we have to learn and adapt our fits – it keeps us on our toes.
I’m a big Soccer fan. I love camping and bushwalking. Recently my wife and I purchased a Jayco camper and are enjoying a new way of seeing the countryside.
Mark G – Accessories Technician
I started my auto electrical apprenticeship at age 16 and have been in the industry ever since…..decades in fact. I’m a bit of a car buff and like working on New Cars (I like having clean hands haha).
I love doing aftermarket because I’m adding value to the vehicle. I must prefer to fit than fix.
I enjoy working with the UVUE team because everyone knows each other, we get along and are willing to help at team member if needed. Its nice to work within a boutique company.
And hand on heart, we really do have the best products. Our range is full of great products that I feel confident in fitting.
My life is all about camping, seeing Australia, fishing and motor sports.
Con V – Accessories Technician
I’m the new kid on the block only joining the team 3 years ago. I’ve been in the industry for over 30 years and worked with some of the other team members previously. That was one of the reasons I was keen to work with UVUE. I had ‘insider info’ they’d be a good bunch to work with.
I’ve worked in the industry for over 30 years and I love it. I love the fact I travel from job to job rather than being stuck in one place. I enjoy meeting different people along the way. And I love the technical side of our work!
In my spare time I love rock and surf fishing and the great outdoors. I have a great routine of taking myself on a daily 1 hour walk which I love. I put on some music and off I go.
Simon - Web Admin MBG
I have been involved with the IT & Manufacturing logistics sector from the early 2000s and CRM systems automation since 2018.
I’m fortunate for the opportunity to help build an online presence and automation alongside brilliant minds and mentors from Australia and around the rest of the world.
I love helping others better understand the use of computers and modern technology which helps companies stay competitive in the ever-changing technology sector and this has included UVUE for the last 4 years.
My motto’s are “Always deliver more than expected” and “Never give up” are his two most important rules to live by.
Home life consists of my beautiful girls, my fiancé and my little 1 year old. My hobbies include, learning to play guitar, golf and yodelling. And, I love Australia utilising every chance I get to experience and explore my big back yard.
Maria Lourdes Chua – Virtual Executive Assistant
I have been working with UVUE for almost 6 years now and so far, I am loving it.
I do a variety of work including data entry, research and Social media content.
What I love about UVUE? Well, I love that they allow me to grow in every aspect of the job! They teach me things, but they also allow me to learn on my own. I love working with them because we all treat each other as family. I can talk to Angie about anything and everything under the sun.
My passion in life is to be the best version of myself each day. I am passionate about self-development and self-improvement in my personal life. I am always looking to challenge myself and learn new things. If I do not know a thing I ask, because I believe it won’t make less of a person if I ask and in that way I learn.
I also love being a mom to my three kids, I love when they still ask me for help even though they are teenagers already.
Irish Nunag – Virtual Executive Manager
I’ve been in the digital marketing field for 8 years now and with the UUVE team since the start!
I do lots of creative works for the team— designing marketing materials like flyers, newsletters, landing pages, and more.
I love trying new things and learning new skills.
By working with the UVUE team, I get to do that! I am so happy I get to work with passionate, kind, motivated, and caring people.
I am passionate about helping people, travelling, being with nature, and spending quality time with family and friends!
Jess Laurente – Remote IT Support
I’ve been a freelance web consultant, systems admin and software developer for more than a decade including for UVUE for over 6 years.
Server administration (AWS and other cloud infra), web applications development and UI/UX design is not only my work but my passion and hobby too. I’m so lucky to do my hobby as my full-time job. Now I can work hard and play hard simultaneously.
Everything I love doing in my spare time I now do for UVUE. Page speed optimisation, extending features of existing modules, plugin configuration, modifying code and writing custom functions, tweaking UI for better UX, and a whole lot of frontend and backend web stuff.
Now I’m getting paid while doing my hobbies. Working with WP CMS, REST API, integration of other third party open source software and learning more about other things related to web development.
I’m passionate on learning more about the latest tech stacks and software development frameworks. Aside from doing nerdy stuff, I also love playing Pokemon Go, traveling abroad, and trying new food.
Rod McLaren – Product Development and Tech support
I started in the auto trade way back in 1986 when I was just 24 years old. I worked at “The Horseless Carriage” auto accessory store for the man who went on to create Autobarn, Amos Bush. After that I spent several more years in retail working for Brashes before becoming a sales rep for both GE and AKAI.
I began to work as a 12 volt auto accessory installer in the early 90’s and from there began importing products from the United States and Asia to supply direct to the new car trade.
I have a great passion for bringing modern automotive electronic accessories to market, especially the kind that can really help people. It’s true that in this modern age dashcams have become an essential item to help all of us protect ourselves.
I’m a firm believer in customer service and what it really means, not just the throw away lines. I’m the head of technical support for UVUE and I’m the person you call when you need help.
I love what I do and I get to speak to so many wonderful people in my job. At home I have two bunnies, Junior and Bailley as well as a Pugalier called Ollie who thinks he’s a rabbit as he spends all his time with them.
