Interests outside of work

I am passionate about the Jewellery Quarter . It has some lovely independent businesses, I have in the past volunteered with the JQBID for their Jewellery Quarter Festival, this proved to be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience.

I am fortunate to live very close to Bournville, I love to go for walks around the beautiful Parks and Green Spaces around Bournville, I love on a Saturday afternoon going to see the Bournville Carillon being played. I just generally love the history of Bournville

I love the Theatre, and if the opportunity arises, I do like to book on for backstage tours of Theatres. I also love to watch Birmingham Royal Ballet at Hippodrome Theatre.

I like to help support smaller local charities where I can.

In the future, I would like to get more involved with volunteering where I can help make a difference to the local community
