What do you think makes a successful place 'work'?

People! A place is nothing without people! A place that is designed with people in mind is going to be successful.

What is favourite place & why:

My allotment. My own little restful oasis in the middle of the City! Good exercise, good food, good banter and all for 50 quid a year!

What interests you outside of work?

When I'm away from the office it has to be surfing and keeping my campervan on the road……a never ending battle with the dreaded rust!
