Personal
My wife and I got married in September, we have two lovely kids (most of the time), our weekends are spent predominantly taking them to various clubs and parties all with the aim of tiring them out, but we love it.
Favourite sport / team
Football is my main sport, always been an Everton fan which has really helped to shape my positive outlook and an appreciation of the little wins in life!
Musical performer
I’ve been lucky to see some amazing live performances, Oasis, Kasabian, Green day, Munford and Sons, The Who, Ocean Colour Scene, Saw Doctors, Beautiful South and Jose Gonzalez to name a few
Movie
Lord of the Rings
Books
Anything Tolkien, also a soft spot for Harry Potter
Best motoring moment
With some of the Oil Recoveries team we had a track day at Silverstone which was a fantastic day out
Best business advice you’ve ever received?
Seems a bit cynical but WIIFM – “What’s in it for me” most people and businesses will work on a basis of “what’s in it for me” so always tailor the response to show the benefit to them.
