PERSONAL PROFILE

Born in Iraq with a sister born in Bahrain, a brother born in Kuwait, a mother born in China and a grandfather born in Burma I, naturally, live in Bath.

Boarding school where I loved rugby, cricket, soccer, riding and tennis then off to see the world - getting as far as Jersey.

Having to earn a living the wine trade seemed like a sensible lifestyle and aiming for a Master of Wine a pleasant objective until I was made redundant - having gained a Diploma.

Getting married and realising that lifestyle work didn't pay the bills I then, of course, became a student for 2 years at Brighton Polytechnic [DMS] and Warwick University School of Industrial and Business Studies [MSc Marketing].
( http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/business/ ).

Naturally this led to divorce.

Learning nothing from this rather clear message, I threw myself into work with American Express, Welbeck Finance, Citibank, Royal Insurance, Oriel Group, CGA, RPM and Person to Person making several billions for shareholders and a (very) few quid for myself launching, growing, turning round, buying out companies. Luckily my wife - yes, someone else was foolish enough to take the plunge - seemed to feel that all this activity was quite a good thing and 22 years later with two wonderful children [Benjamin who is reading Chinese in Liverpool and Victoria who is still at school], 2 cats and a dog we are still together.

I still love food and wine (as my photo shows), cooking, watching rugby Bath Rugby, of course, ( http://www.bathrugby.com ) painting, shooting and walking.
