About Me


I'm an ambitious and positive person with an alternative outlook. I'm currently growing a business with plans to get it running by itself soon so I can work on lots of other new ideas. I recently featured in a full page Daily Telegraph weekend Enterprise article which was fun. Ultimately, I want to build businesses which help as many people as possible or provides a fun and funky product (think Innocent Drinks esq). I work hard and love what I do, but I know how to have a good time in the evening. I'm not so much of a nightclub/bar kinda guy, more a fan of going out for meals, private clubs and house parties.. as long as the company's good!
I exercise regularly, play piano and guitar, salsa dance and tango (useful for uni formal dos though there are less of these now than I'd like), I'm a big Caffe Nero fan and love cooking and trying new cuisine. I'm also a health nut becuase I believe in the long-term benefit rather than the short-term gain. Planning to travel around the world in early 2008 (US, Europe and China - but NOT Australia - I just DO NOT see the appeal!) then go to Cambridge or LBS for a masters (although I'm more into the idea of being a student again than actually studying!).
I'm on Myspace to keep up with friends, network with chat to like minded people. Feel free to say hello!
P.S. I want to do the Gumball oh so badly one day.. choice of car is paramount though. Maybe a Bentley Continental GT. It looks like sooo much fun!

Why can't the country be more like town?

After living in London, Bristol and Durham, I carved myself a rather comfy place in the midlands, only tolerable due to the ideal position for my business. Nevertheless, the pleasures of town are call...
