Winning the Surveyor’s 7s plate tournament and lifting the trophy as skipper of the Paragon team! Setting up Paragon in May 2009 with nine good friends and colleagues was also a moment to look back on fondly.
Paying the mortgage and school fees! Seriously though, as a builders’ son, I am passionate about property and construction and love my job. I also work with a few decent fellows too, both colleagues and clients. We work hard but it’s not breaking rocks or plastering ceilings!
I always strive to make a meaningful contribution and become a trusted / retained advisor. Always playing the long game, which is just as well as I’ve never been fast! I’ve also leveraged my property & rugby connections very successfully and am a committee member of the RICS Rugby Club.
Beyond Paragon, I am a husband and father of two young kids and a keen rugby man. I am Chairman of Rugby at Esher RFC and also coach the mini's. I still try to fit a rugby tour in once a year.
Pies (yes, all of them!)
The Windmill (…pub that is – great pies!)
Black Sheep
Beadnell, Northumberland (where it all started!) or Barbados (where it might all end)!
I am definitely not Welsh!
