Biggest Influence

It’s got to be my lad Elijah. He teaches me something new every day about both him and myself (not always good!) and it’s a real privilege to be his dad.

Career Highlight

As a journalist turned PR practitioner who has been involved in the media sector for more than 20 years, there’s been many. Having had the opportunity to travel to Africa and around Europe for work, interviewing many big names across business, and working with some fantastic colleagues (many of whom are now lifelong friends) have got to be up there. Being part of the growth and success of Aberfield is particularly pleasing.

Favourite Place

Now my brother is living there it’s got to be New York. The buzz, landscape and people are unique. Who knows – one day there might be an Aberfield office in NYC!

Alternative Career

Gardener in a stately home. I got into gardening during lockdown and now have an allotment as well as green space at home that I enjoy looking after. It’s good for relaxing and taking my mind off things.
