I was born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1964, but spent the best part of my childhood being brought up in a Norfolk Post Office. I left school to train as an accountant but after 5 years the tedium got to me along with the lack of face to face contact with clients. I decided to enter the world of retail managment. In 2004, after 20 years of managing various stores, including six months in Munich, Germany as an area manager, my life came full circle and I bought Brading Post Office.
I have a keen interest in music and most sports, and can be found down Vicarage Lane most Saturday afternoons watching Brading Town.
