I live in South Oxfordshire these days.

Father to two great young men.
What did you want to be when you were younger?
Not to get old, but hey ho, that didn’t work out 🙂

What’s your favourite quote?
I actually have 2 quotes that resonate with me. The first relayed to me by my parents from a young age was ‘treat others as you wish to be treated’. The other summarises what drives my working ethos and desire to continuously improve on the norm, and is by Russell L Ackoff ‘It is far better to do the right thing wrong than the wrong thing right’.
What is your favourite thing about being a Head of Customer Experience?
We are working with a great team who wants to do the right thing for each other and our customers.
