Personal Interests

What's a hobby or interest you've always wanted to pursue but haven't had the chance to yet?

Snooker. My nickname is Angles as I used to be a pretty good pool player but dedication to work and family haven’t quite given me the chance to pursue…yet!

If you could eat one type of cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Italian. One of my favourite foods, albeit simple, is a bruschetta.

What's the best piece of career advice you've ever received, and who gave it to you?

Progress over perfection. Sometimes we yearn for absolute perfection, strive for it even. But the pursuit of perfection can limit progress and progress should always win. My first managing director gave me this piece of advice and since, I continue to hear it within brilliant leadership circles time and again.
