Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family. I've been married for 24 years and have twin boys who are at University. To relax I enjoy travel and holidays with my family; gardening (having invested in a greenhouse a couple of years ago) and I swim regularly at our local pool. I'm also a supporter and season ticket holder at Reading FC who I've supported with my boys for 16 years but this can bring more disappointment than enjoyment at times
