“I grew up playing football, rugby and cricket along with most other sports. I am still a keen sportsman, however, this tends to be more as a spectator these days. Being fit and active is still very important to me,  and I am a keen cyclist and skier.”

“My hobbies include photography, reading and travel. My work life has involved extensive travel over the years, but my favourite place to visit is the Cote d’Azur where we spend most family holidays. My favourite cities would have to be New York and Hong Kong. I love spending quality time with my family and am lucky enough to have two young sons who have adopted my love of sport and football in particular.”
