Interests
Outside of my working life I like to spend as much time as possible with my wife and two daughters. I am a keen golfer, try to stay fit and healthy by playing football and going to the gym (occasionally!). I have a personal best marathon time of 3hrs 47minutes with London, Paris and Hamburg marathons under my belt although I don't think that PB will ever be under threat!
