He came to New Zealand with his parents in 1877. He arrived in Waipawa in 1881, for some years was engaged in store-keeping, and subsequently established himself in the brewing industry. Jull was chairman of the Waipawa County Council, was elected president of the New Zealand Counties Association in 1901, was for some years chairman of the Waipawa Town Board and of the District Hospital Board, and in 1894 was president of the New Zealand Fire Brigades' Association. He is an enthusiastic Oddfellow, is a Past Provincial Grand Master of the Hawke's Bay district, and in 1906 represented the district at the biennial conference held at Nelson.[2] He chaired the Napier Harbour Board for 20 years, a role from which he retired in 1932.[1][3]
