Outside of my working life, I live with a one giant house rabbit and one small, frail one and enjoy running and keeping fit – last year climbing Kilimanjaro to raise money and awareness for Zoe’s Law. Two fellow members of the Island Business Network which I attend weekly (one being the brother of Zoe, who sadly fell victim to a missed skin cancer diagnosis) accompanied me and we now have Mont Blanc booked for 2025.

This year I was lucky enough to win a ballot place for the TCS London Marathon, so raised money for a young local rugby player who was tragically paralysed during a game last year. This run further fuelled my fire for fitness ventures, resulting in me running ‘Walk’ the Wight in May, doing the 3 Peak Challenge for a second time at the end of June and a Snowdon trail marathon in July. During the winter I spend my Saturdays questioning referee decisions and trying to work out the scores at the games of the Sandown and Shanklin Rugby Football Club, of which I’m a member of the committee.
