A brief history of me...
Born in Africa, educated in Epsom; now residing in Yorkshire. After my business degree I embarked on a largely sales oriented career in the IT world focusing on 'blue chip' organisations. During the late nineties I ventured into the Pharmaceutical sector with Logica Plc and latterly, an American east coast start up computer storage company.
Earlier this century saw a strategic move to Yorkshire (my wife was keen to get back to her roots) and I joined CODA; a software company specialising in best in class finance systems based in Harrogate. Eight enjoyable years followed (Betty's lemon drizzle cake often a lunchtime treat) delivering finance solutions throughout the UK, until I finally moved to eBusiness UK where I continue specialising in a 'best in class' software approach located happily in Yorkshire.
I’m currently watching...
Mostly my son playing cricket. Not that much on TV that is exciting, though like the new BBC1 Sherlock Holmes series.
I’m currently listening to...
Pink Floyd, Duffy, Queen, Cat Stevens, Mika.
I’m currently reading...
"Website design: eCommerce" edited by Julius Wiedemann. One of the 'ICONS' series that I picked up the other day at the Tate gallery in London. It lists all the current iconic websites around today. Interesting.
I’m most proud of...
My family, comprising of my wife Anita my son Hector plus Arthur and Poppy our two collie dogs, who while challenging, add an extra fun dimension to our lives.
Something you won’t know about me...
Was a premiership hockey player for Surbiton Hockey club 1st XI for a number of years where among many nicknames, I was known as 'dry slope' because of my tendency to go skiing during a critical phase each season. Recently restarted my hockey exploits with Harrogate Hockey Club. No nickname as yet.
What are these?
