About EWN

EWN is dedicated to the provision of a multi-channel alert system that  leads the world in capability but is provided free to those that need it, the public and emergency responders. EWN management is the combination of three partners that have successfully worked together in systems development and solutions since 1995. Each of the partners are successful business operators in their own rights with joint business proceeds in excess of $100 million.

Kerry Plowright - Managing Director

Kerry Plowright is the Managing Director of EWN. Kerry was previously an Army Officer before share farming in Central Queensland and then becoming involved in marketing and sales, Plowright has significant experience in the pursuit of meaningful social outcome. One of the original wildlife warriors, Kerry orchestrated, financed and managed numerous pro-active conservation efforts. During the first Gulf War Kerry flew a wildlife rescue team into Kuwait aboard US Marine helicopters as the Iraqi army fled north. This effort was in a bid to protect critically endangered estuary habitat threatened by oil slicks. Navigating terrain sewed with mines and cluster bombs he and his team successfully sourced and deployed oil booms across river mouths and harbour entrances protecting sensitive and endangered habitat.

In 1996 Kerry founded the ezimerchant business and was the first to offer an affordable, packaged ecommerce solution to small and medium business. Since then Kerry has helped thousands of business make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Internet and is arguably Australia?s leading authority on small business and the Internet. Kerry recently sold the ezimerchant business which is now the most widely used solution in Australia in addition to being sold in Japan, the USA and UK.

Michael Bath - General Manager Alerts

Michael worked in the information technology sector in Sydney for 10 years after completing tertiary education at the Northern Rivers College of Advanced Education (now Southern Cross University), Lismore. A career switch to media monitoring began after his family relocated back to the Northern Rivers region of NSW.

Michael is a self taught severe weather meteorologist. Studying floods and severe thunderstorms and weather photography are a passion that has continued for over two decades. He is the founding president of the Australian Severe Weather Association, a Bureau of Meteorology storm spotter and volunteer member with the Richmond Tweed Division State Emergency Service based in Lismore.

The opportunity to be part of the EWN team arose in late 2007. As general manager of alerts, Michael is responsible for issuing public alerts, maintaining parts of the website, membership administration, systems analysis and testing.
