Interests

Cycling is my number one interest when I can find time with busy work and family commitments, the annual trip to Mallorca with my cycling friends is always looked forward to. Family is very important, I am married and have two girls, Olivia who is 12 and Matilda who is 9.  My wife Claire is a professional classical musician, so my interest in this genre of music has grown greatly and I am now a regular at her concerts along with our children. Other interests involve on-going renovations with our Victorian house, hence I decided to pursue and achieve a City and Guilds Level 2 Electrical Installation Certificate.
