Outside the office

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, I am an avid reader (particularly crime fiction) and I am a supporter of the basketball team the Newcastle Eagles.

I also enjoy supporting local charity and community events. In December 2022, I nominated the Lister Hospital Maternity Ward as the chosen charity for our Christmas raffle, and was delighted to present them with a cheque for £500.
