Hi Dazzer great video just watched it with Brad & Ben! Glad to see it means so much to you! We are all excited to be working with you and looking forward to seeing your future videos especially as we agreed to give you free reign on vehicles, content and full access to anything behind the scenes! Welcome to the family 👍
Going to be brilliant - just what aspiring vanners need to see too - all the different type of van layouts & specs & even down to things like how different beds work and how the chuff the pop top beds work and how to get in them 😂🙌👍
Rob. You are a very shrewd business man and it seems very fair too. I’ve been watching Dazzer for a month now as I’m thinking about buying a MH and going full time. These last two videos and the honest way he has spoken of you service has made me want to buy my 1st Motor Home from your company. Your attention to detail and care of service is exemplary. I’ve been in sales for years and you now have the best salesman (an honest one) in Dazzer working for you. Will be up to see you when my funds are ready. Regards Des
Good luck with the new venture, because of you, we visited Oaktree and sat with Rob who advised us on our power requirements for our new van, whenever it arrives, (is been on order since May 2022), maybe we might even bump into you. Good luck buddy.
Hey Darren, fantastic news. I'm at Oaktree this week swapping my Bailey Autograph 796 for a Swift Bolero 684 maybe catch you there. Great for you to get your dream and everyone at Oaktree are fantastic I agree top service genuine people.❤
You will Love the Tag axle. I am also solo in a Tag Axle (Which was also sold my Oaktree) and I love the extra room you have. It is like a mobile bachelor pad. Good luck and will more than likely bump into you one day on your travels.
I have followed you for a long time and I am delighted for you. As soon as we are ready we will be using Oaktree for our next van because I have been so very impressed, buying a camper is a huge commitment but this business sounds like a genuine company, thank you Daz. Still smiling at your news. You know Daz you never fail to cheer me up because you are always so infectiously happy even when you are perhaps not always feeling good yourself. Thank you and I am so looking forward to your vlogs. Happy days
So happy for your news, now you are stopping working nights you will begin to feel better in yourself. Medical experts say it take about three months to get over shift work and your body will be so happy. I worked shifts with nights for just over 20 yrs and when I stopped , boy was it better. The Oaktree deal looks to be perfect for you. Enjoy this next step of your UA-cam career.
You guys getting into bed together what a clever idea! I’m really looking forward to seeing the content. The other prominent “full timers” could benefit from this, every sizeable dealer should take advantage of the exposure you guys get. P.S bought my motorhome from Oaktree 6 years ago and have lived in it full time ever since.
Well done following your dream. Met you a couple of times and you have always had time for me and anyone. I like Oaktree was hope full to do a deal on Bessacar Hi style 4.24 looks like it’s gone 😢 teach me to go on holiday lol. I bet they can find me one and hope to see you at a show show soon. 🎉 You rock 😊
HAPPY NEW Motorhome Day.... could not happen to a nicer guy.... FANTASTIC. !!!! so happy for you... Really looking forward to the new content... true ambassador not just for Oaktree but for motorhoming as well.... and We want a new sticker !!! When you get them made... will keep the old one on our sticker door...
Hi Darren, looks like you have bought our old motorhome. We called him "bertie ". We had such wonderful times away in him. Hope you love it as much as we did and will be watching to see your adventures.
My wife and I are so chuffed for you Daz, you're getting to live your dream! We're going full time this year and it's only because of people like you showing us what's possible that's making us do it so THANK YOU 😎😎😎
Travelwithbilbo, both Ian and I are now retired and hope to get a lot of travelling in before we get to old. Back in the day all this tec wasn’t available so travel was limited, if my time was now I would definitely be on the road, good on you for taking the plunge and enjoying life and doing what you love. ❤ happy travels.
I love this, proper genuine bloke and massively deserved. Remember meeting you at Vanlife festival last year and you seemed so genuinely humble and grateful when I said I was a big fan of your videos. Not many people stay as humble and appreciative as you are Darren. Wish you all the very best in your new home and on your new path for the future!
Found your channel a few weeks ago (no idea why) but been enjoying your videos and was looking forward to this video all week but to be honest I’m a bit disappointed, was thinking your be showing more of your new home and so on, waited a week for this? Hope the next one (which shows more of the van and stuff they do before sale sooner than a week! Just to add you even had the picture of the video showing your new home yet didn’t really show much
Oh my DAYS!!! No wonder you couldn’t keep the grin in when you were still trying to keep us hanging! I’m SO happy for you! You deserve this! And what a company Oaktree are! Well done to them too! #livingthedream 🎉🎉
Blimey Daz, I nearly fell off my sofa and now that I’ve stabilised myself back on it, I’ve had to reach for the tissues. I can’t tell you how absolutely delighted I am for you, what an epic moment in your life. So looking forward to sharing your journey, take care and if it wasn’t so early in the day whilst I’m watching this I’d be having a wee drink to celebrate with you!! Congratulations also to Oak Tree and all the folk who work there.
Really pleased for you and I’m coming to follow you through your journey on my screen as you are doing what I dream for but can’t. So thank you !! from me .
Ask Oaktree to think of a access to garage for safe dog travel when owners are not in van etc. I'm doing my own conversion in my Hymer that makes the garage also a dig room etc for many reasons. Garage becomes not just storage but a room extension for safe pet travel.
may be instead of storing in the side cupboard put the items in to really useful boxes and make it easier to get things out and then less items to take out if need the space
Hi Darran, I am a recent subscriber and so just starting to catch-up on all your videos. Just wanted to say "Hello" 👋 and "Congratulations" ... I can see how much this news means to you. It is good to see someone filled with happiness. Looking forward to your past and future videos. Let the good times roll.......
Congratulations! So happy for you. Here’s an idea, what would you say would be a good campervan for my plus size OH, me and 3 dogs that isn’t going to be a problem to park and a bed that can be left fixed sometimes. On board toilet is a must. ( Not a Pop Top). The best I come up with is a Wildax Aurora. Bed for us, sofa for the lurcher , floor for other 2. No pinch points. Thanks. Wishing you all the best.
@@Mevi Yes, we have a Pulsar at the moment, but the sleeping arrangement for us with the dogs isn’t ideal, so we use it as a day van - which is great, but…… personally, I would love to be able to overnight in it.
@@irenedale5256 the Pulsar is great. I first saw that at the Manchester Motorhome show 2020, just before lockdown. I spent a lot of time on their stand. Impressed.
It was only last week I said you were a good advert for the company... LOL... So pleased for you, had a few tears in my eyes, and then the shock last clip how you planned to go full time and quit trucking 15 months earlier... well, you had a great plan. You have a good warm personality, and your passion shows in your videos. The content you create will be endless and so invaluable... so.... as Picard would say... Engage..! and Captain Kirk would say, take us out...!! Fantastic news..
Con-grates on getting the MH. Ambassador to a company is to represent a company. I hope the relationship works out. You were already a Fulltimer living in a motorhome with the addition of a Job, so there for you had a responsibility to be somewhere using your motorhome as transport to then go do your job. It will be interesting to see how your new relationship impacts on decisions you want to now make regarding a non commitment to your old work life. Is it the case that you have simply changed jobs living in a motorhome. My wife and I packed up working in 2015 and went full time in our MH travelling extensively in mainland Europe. Pandemic forced us back into the UK but now back on the road turning left or right where the road takes us giving us total freedom as to what we do or where we go. This new chapter will bring new challenges but we hope the relationship commitments do not get in the way of any old intended goals and dreams that having a commitment to work could not be advanced. Looking forward to seeing what you get upto.
Hi Daz, Julie here, Wow, Congratulations 🎉, it looks a lovely van and an Abassodore for Oakwood Motorhomes. Not to far from us. Well we will be following your travels as we have been , take care Julie and Tony xx
So so happy for you Darran. Your excitement is infectious. You’re going to be a great promoter for Oaktree. Happy travels. I hope there is going to be new merch. Sally & Will 🚍
Ahhhh Daz well happy for you that you left your job to do what you love and that’s so important, do what makes you happy 😀. I was choked up watching this and happy tears x you go for it and can’t wait to see your trips and travels from oak tree. Well done xxx
Many congrats on this fantastic news. As a new subscriber I can immediately see why you are already successful and moving to a better lifestyle. Enthusiasm and positive, friendly attitude. Well done and keep up the good work. On a separate note. Well done Oaktree! Your new Ambassador has already pointed me in your direction when its time for me to upgrade. Seems the business plan is going to work very well for all concerned. Well done all.
Well done Darran, full timing is great, we did it in 2019 to travel UK and Europe and it was the best time ever, COVID cut us short but just got a new and improved MoHo and hope to be back on the road soon. Enjoy my man and keep up the quality vids, really make my day seeing you enjoy Vanlife with such enthusiasm. Happy travels
So pleased for you Darren,we are going full time at the start of June,really looking forward to it,I’ve been working in a factory for 20 years and can’t wait to walk out of there in 3 months time for the last time 😄,hopefully see you around sometime in the future!
Well done Mate.Only problem I can see is that having a tag-axle makes the motorhome a Class 4 vehicle on french and some other european toll roads, ie same as an artic truck.
Awesome news Daz! I think that because oaktree is a independent the format of your videos will be unique and work really well. You nailed the question i have most of the time - "why is that one twenty grand more expensive?". Brilliant mate - best of luck! Ringo
Great news, love seeing the excitement in your voice, and can't wait to follow your new adventures. We are touring the UK this year in our van conversion and start our adventure in April as hubby is retiring (early) and know how you feel.
I’m quite new to your channel. I just love your enthusiasm. I was going to do the van life/camper van living about 12 years ago. Unfortunately my camper van was stolen. Six months later I became very unwell so maybe it was a good thing the camper was stolen. Things have got a lot worse. My life expectancy is about another 4 to 5 years. Your channel and the things you do give me a window to the outside and watch someone living the dream. Good luck with the new motorhome ❤
Mate, I'm so pleased for you. I met you last year at the C@Mhome show at the NEC, and you're and absolute star. I've watched you from your first video and it's great to see you achieve what you set out to do. Well done Daz, and well done Oaktree for a very good decision and brilliant support. I'm looking at my first motorhome either later this or next year - and Oaktree will be my first port of call...And a Billy Bonus is they're only just up the road from me.👍 Nice one Daz - I'll send you some new stickers to your mums house.
Huge congratulations to you Darren. This is richly deserved. I hope you really enjoy your new motorhome. I'm looking forward to following your channel as your content expands and diversifies 👍🙂
Happy days mate! Hope it goes well Think I just fixed the ongoing leak on my motor home, solar cables weren’t screwed in tight, this is after masticking all my panels and skylights on a ladder in gale force wind, think I need a driveshaft or maybe engine mount cos it has a rough idle, makes me travel sick, but we get there…… Very happy for you brother, you gave me the balls to go Scotland in my lil t4 with my dog, watching ur vids. So now I have a motor home too ! Renault Master x reg, it’s an ex ambulance but it’s huge, I can stand up in it, so what do I keep? The swb dayvan T4, only does 60mph, or the standy up Renault that’s got solar panels, separate red diesel heater on remote control , ready made bed, electric hook up, just heavier on juice, and harder to drive in the city ?
Well, after having stumbled across your channel while contemplating my near future, here's your starter for ten... Single guy. Close to retirement. No home to call my own. Born under a wandering star. Travelwriter. Would be nice to have a roof over my head between backpacking and volunteering work. I am 6ft tall though, so finding the right motorhome/campervan that works for me has been a challenge. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to showcase something that might work for me :)
I'd love to see an "urban" test with a Bailey Autograph - french bed or island bed. That's what I'd consider most suitable for me doing full time vanlife .......but I'd be concerned with the extra width and the ground clearance on the Bailey, and is it winterised enough for full time use in this country 🤔
Couldn’t be happier for you Darren. You have put so much effort into your channel and deserve the payoff from it. I’m envious of that new motorhome, it looks like a palace compared to the Sunlight. Thank you Rob and Oaktree for continually showing us all what a good dealership should be. I’m sure that we are in for an amazing journey now that Darren and Oaktree are in partnership.
Darren BLOODY brilliant! Well done!! We are at Oaktree next Friday having a new battery. They are great to deal with. Well done you on getting a following big enough for you to be able to be a ambassador for them. I’m so glad things are working out for you. Such a nice bloke you are and it’s good that nice things happen to nice people ❤
Brilliant channel mate , been watching for years.. they’ve made a great choice having you on board 👍🏻 if and when I get a van Oaktree will be my first port of call
🎉🎉🎉 What great news Daz 👍 love your new motorhome, its a beauty. Oaktree is only about 5 miles away from me so hopefully I may bump into you at some point. So pleased for you, your new life starts now. Your reborn 😂😂😁
Oh Darren, l am so pleased for you. Such a lift to see you so excited. I follow you but have never commented. You totally deserve your good fortune. Just lifts me when l see your lovely smile and enthusiasm. I live my dream through you, l am 75 and can’t see me ever travelling, so keep having adventures, and l live them with you. Again very well done.
As a selfish viewer, this in genuinely exciting! firstly, you have to be one of the best people to review/explore/test/try different vans/moho's and kit. secondly, everyone loves a travel show, especially in a van!! Really pleased for you, well done and enjoy mate!!!
What an amazing new home, buzzing for you and oaktree by the looks of it are an amazing company, now that you have quit work, will we see you travelling around Europe etc?
Hi Darren absolutely great news, we like yourself fulltime, no house, just the motorhome. It's a great life. You are right to get the biggest motorhome that you could get. We now have 700 watts of solar , 270 amps of lithium , b to b charger and inverter. 2x 11 klo refillable bottles, soon to have another 55 klo underslung gas container fitted . This all adds up to freedom to roam . Ps we used to have a burstner 2004 built like a tank.
Well done daz, congratulations. We bought our motorhome from Oaktree and they were amazing with us, and made sure it was pristine when we picked it up, nothing was too much trouble for them. So so happy for you. 😊 xx
As a Redbourn lad I have never taken to any Hemel lads, not since that incident at the flat top! But you fella I am gonna make an exception to my rule, good on you and good luck.
Overjoyed for you lad, a very astute move by Oaktree ,and a win win for you both. been watching the vids couple of years now. Hoping to do the same change soon. Best of luck keep the great vids coming.
I’ve just discovered your channel so this feels odd but I have been binging your videos and feel really pleased for you. Well done for setting your goal and for achieving it man. You’ve earned my sub for sure. The idea of living in a motorhome full time intrigues me a lot so I’ll be watching with anticipation! Happy travels!
Hi Darren, this is the first comment i have left on your channel despite watching you for about 2 years. Congratulations, you have worked so hard to reach this point and i am looking forward to whats to come for the future. I am going to admit i am a caravanner, but the adventures are the same and i love seeing what you are up to, getting ideas for places to visit and even applying your tips and advice to my caravan life. Keep up the good work, this is now the beginning of a great new chapter for you, i think i am as excited as you are lol Steve
Well done Darren, been following for years great great channel and can’t wait for the new adventures to start !! Yes I was on a cliff hanger waiting all week ya bugger !! But great news and well done Oaktree got yourself a great man and great ambassador! !!
Well done. It looks amazing 😍. So nice to meet you last week at the NEC. We were the cheeky Couple that interrupted your meal in the press office. Wish I got a selfie but maybe next time. X
So pleased for you a new motorhome , Oaktree have certainly looked after you in the past couple of years, your now free from the shackles of working for a big company, it's now time to live life and explore, happy travel on the road 🛣️
Good for you, life is too short. Enjoy your self and carry on blogging and entertaining us. Looking forward to seeing lots of different vans. I am interested in the different weight limits of drop down beds as there are many different weights. Stay safe x
Mate, that's amazing news. An opportunity like that just has to be taken. Wherever it leads, however long it lasts, it's a thrilling adventure. Love your new motorhome. Good luck buddy, love forward to the next instalment.
Well done Darran. Made up for you. I'm a lorry driver and would love to give up work. You live that dream mate and always watch your videos. You have so much passion for what you do mate. Good luck in all your doing 👍 Cheers Paul and Sarah
As we truckies say "Living the dream" Looking forward to the future videos of a a fellow "Tagger" Just remember what i said at Stratford about tolls in Europe ha ha, When i travelled down to Bulgaria last year the cost to drive through Hungary non stop was astounding ! All the best fella.
Great news Darren! Onwards and upwards to new adventures, what an amazing opportunity! Can't wait to see all this new content in different styles of campers & motorhomes. Have been waiting on the edge of my seat for this video! All the best for the future and see you in the next one!!
Good luck with your new adventure, been watching your videos for some time, unfortunately I had to get rid of my camper last year to much for repairs. I'll be watching you videos with interest to get back on the road
Hi Dazzer great video just watched it with Brad & Ben! Glad to see it means so much to you! We are all excited to be working with you and looking forward to seeing your future videos especially as we agreed to give you free reign on vehicles, content and full access to anything behind the scenes! Welcome to the family 👍
Super super exciting to see more collabs between Darran and you guys!! Exciting times 😍😍
Well done Rob. A great company you have and you’ve made the lovely Darren so happy.
Congrats! Fair play too you man 👌🏼
Going to be brilliant - just what aspiring vanners need to see too - all the different type of van layouts & specs & even down to things like how different beds work and how the chuff the pop top beds work and how to get in them 😂🙌👍
Rob. You are a very shrewd business man and it seems very fair too.

Putting a animal in the rear garage is not safe, you must be thick
Cracking deal is that Daz, Rob is one hell of a guy I remember him from his days
in Sutton in Ashfield.
may be instead of storing in the side cupboard put the items in to really useful boxes and make it easier to get things out
and then less items to take out if need the space

Your channel and the things you do give me a window to the outside and watch someone living the dream. Good luck with the new motorhome ❤
❤️
Good work fella, you deserve the success you have worked so hard for....your positivity and enthusiasm has got you here....well done Darran
Congratulations! How exciting! A new and very exciting chapter. I wish you all the best!!
Mate, I'm so pleased for you. I met you last year at the C@Mhome show at the NEC, and you're and absolute star. I've watched you from your first video and it's great to see you achieve what you set out to do. Well done Daz, and well done Oaktree for a very good decision and brilliant support. I'm looking at my first motorhome either later this or next year - and Oaktree will be my first port of call...And a Billy Bonus is they're only just up the road from me.👍
Nice one Daz - I'll send you some new stickers to your mums house.
Huge congratulations to you Darren. This is richly deserved. I hope you really enjoy your new motorhome. I'm looking forward to following your channel as your content expands and diversifies 👍🙂
Congratulations on getting your new motor home. I am looking forward to seeing your ongoing travels and activities cheers 🍻
Happy days mate! Hope it goes well
Think I just fixed the ongoing leak on my motor home, solar cables weren’t screwed in tight, this is after masticking all my panels and skylights on a ladder in gale force wind, think I need a driveshaft or maybe engine mount cos it has a rough idle, makes me travel sick, but we get there……
Very happy for you brother, you gave me the balls to go Scotland in my lil t4 with my dog, watching ur vids. So now I have a motor home too ! Renault Master x reg, it’s an ex ambulance but it’s huge, I can stand up in it, so what do I keep? The swb dayvan T4, only does 60mph, or the standy up Renault that’s got solar panels, separate red diesel heater on remote control , ready made bed, electric hook up, just heavier on juice, and harder to drive in the city ?
Well, after having stumbled across your channel while contemplating my near future, here's your starter for ten... Single guy. Close to retirement. No home to call my own. Born under a wandering star. Travelwriter. Would be nice to have a roof over my head between backpacking and volunteering work. I am 6ft tall though, so finding the right motorhome/campervan that works for me has been a challenge. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to showcase something that might work for me :)
I'd love to see an "urban" test with a Bailey Autograph - french bed or island bed. That's what I'd consider most suitable for me doing full time vanlife .......but I'd be concerned with the extra width and the ground clearance on the Bailey, and is it winterised enough for full time use in this country 🤔
Couldn’t be happier for you Darren. You have put so much effort into your channel and deserve the payoff from it. I’m envious of that new motorhome, it looks like a palace compared to the Sunlight. Thank you Rob and Oaktree for continually showing us all what a good dealership should be. I’m sure that we are in for an amazing journey now that Darren and Oaktree are in partnership.
Amazing, so happy for you. You’ve got to your goal. Look forward to seeing your travels.
Darren BLOODY brilliant! Well done!!
We are at Oaktree next Friday having a new battery. They are great to deal with.
Well done you on getting a following big enough for you to be able to be a ambassador for them. I’m so glad things are working out for you. Such a nice bloke you are and it’s good that nice things happen to nice people ❤
Brilliant channel mate , been watching for years.. they’ve made a great choice having you on board 👍🏻 if and when I get a van Oaktree will be my first port of call
So happy for your new motorhome and the new direction for the channel! Congratulations.
🎉🎉🎉 What great news Daz 👍 love your new motorhome, its a beauty. Oaktree is only about 5 miles away from me so hopefully I may bump into you at some point. So pleased for you, your new life starts now. Your reborn 😂😂😁
Congratualtions. Oaktree are really impressive - I wish they were closer to me.
Oh Darren, l am so pleased for you. Such a lift to see you so excited. I follow you but have never commented. You totally deserve your good fortune. Just lifts me when l see your lovely smile and enthusiasm. I live my dream through you, l am 75 and can’t see me ever travelling, so keep having adventures, and l live them with you. Again very well done.
As a selfish viewer, this in genuinely exciting! firstly, you have to be one of the best people to review/explore/test/try different vans/moho's and kit. secondly, everyone loves a travel show, especially in a van!! Really pleased for you, well done and enjoy mate!!!
Fricking fantastic!!!!!! I got emosh too - so pleased for you. Can't wait to follow you on your epic future. 🙂🙂🙂 xx
Good for you, dude. Would be interesting to find out if the much larger van size, effects you stealth camping. 👍
Well done, I'm very happy for you and wish you all the best. I'd be interested to see what is out there for the tall person, 6' 7" tall and heavy. 👍
I remember your 1st vlog by the park I don't know where but talking very green about it , and now all happy with the new home ,3 _ 4 years back now 😀
Really pleased for you matey. Oaktree sound like an amazing company and will be going there for my next motorhome. Best of luck for the future buddy
What an amazing new home, buzzing for you and oaktree by the looks of it are an amazing company, now that you have quit work, will we see you travelling around Europe etc?
Hi Darren absolutely great news, we like yourself fulltime, no house, just the motorhome. It's a great life. You are right to get the biggest motorhome that you could get. We now have 700 watts of solar , 270 amps of lithium , b to b charger and inverter. 2x 11 klo refillable bottles, soon to have another 55 klo underslung gas container fitted . This all adds up to freedom to roam . Ps we used to have a burstner 2004 built like a tank.
Well done Dazza, a great guy working alongside a great company . Congratulations!!!
Well done mate so happy for you can I suggest a tour of the motorhome that was owned by Nigel mansell it looks like a coach conversion.
Wow that looks amazing. There is so much more space now. New adventures and new memories,so pleased for you.
Well done daz, congratulations. We bought our motorhome from Oaktree and they were amazing with us, and made sure it was pristine when we picked it up, nothing was too much trouble for them.
So so happy for you. 😊 xx
Good luck, we are just purchasing our first motorhome and cannot wait to start travelling.
Well done and goodluck in your new job. Sounds like a good match for you and for Oaktree 👍🏻
Well done mate, not just a change in home but a whole life change. and its good to have a plan to work to, as your video from Oct 21 shows.
What an absolute legend! You deserve the opportunity and I hope you enjoy. We’ll all be with you on the adventure 🎉
Thanks mate 😁👍🏼
As a Redbourn lad I have never taken to any Hemel lads, not since that incident at the flat top! But you fella I am gonna make an exception to my rule, good on you and good luck.
Overjoyed for you lad, a very astute move by Oaktree ,and a win win for you both. been watching the vids couple of years now. Hoping to do the same change soon. Best of luck keep the great vids coming.
Daz, because of you, I am going to buy my next motorhome from Oak Tree - going up there in April...cheers!
I’ve just discovered your channel so this feels odd but I have been binging your videos and feel really pleased for you. Well done for setting your goal and for achieving it man. You’ve earned my sub for sure. The idea of living in a motorhome full time intrigues me a lot so I’ll be watching with anticipation! Happy travels!
Hi Darren, this is the first comment i have left on your channel despite watching you for about 2 years. Congratulations, you have worked so hard to reach this point and i am looking forward to whats to come for the future. I am going to admit i am a caravanner, but the adventures are the same and i love seeing what you are up to, getting ideas for places to visit and even applying your tips and advice to my caravan life. Keep up the good work, this is now the beginning of a great new chapter for you, i think i am as excited as you are lol Steve
Great news, but I can't be the only person trying to find the smallest campervan on the forecourt for you to do a weekend away review in.
Congratulations, couldn't be more happy for you. You deserve every success
Well done Darren, been following for years great great channel and can’t wait for the new adventures to start !! Yes I was on a cliff hanger waiting all week ya bugger !! But great news and well done Oaktree got yourself a great man and great ambassador! !!
