grandkids. I was a teenager, somebody
who knew nothing. They had been through
so much hardship, so they had a wealth
of knowledge. It was such an amazing
experience.”

AUDIT OPENS UP THE WORLD
All the change and movement in his
early life led to Jui suffering a severe case
of “itchy feet” as an adult. He is the first
to admit to having little patience for
staying in one role, one office, one country,
throughout his life and career.
After finishing his schooling in England,
he relocated to Miami in the US, where his
parents had also moved permanently.
The move caused some initial concern
for Jui. He was still a young Taiwanese
man, who had become familiar with

British culture during the 1970s, and
who was now throwing himself into
another new and untested environment.
“In England and Europe in the late 1970s,
there was a lot of anti-US sentiment,”
he recalls. “I was going from a boarding
school in a small village in the middle
of nowhere in the UK to Miami, a place
where the sun shines all the time, people
dress differently, and there are numerous
different accents, because in downtown
Miami, it’s 60 per cent immigrants from
Latin America and Haiti and Jamaica. So,
it was quite a different environment.”
It was in Miami that Jui studied for
his first university degree, which you’d
probably think would be accounting
related, but you’d be wrong. Jui’s
passion was for the fine arts, and his
degree focused on photography.
