What do you do outside of TransXL?
I’m married to Christine, with 4 children, Matt, Josh, Joe, and Gemma.
I am a keen motorcyclist; I manage to escape over to France once a year on the bike, for Moules and Frites. I am an active member of the Local Advance motorcycle club, As a Qualified National Observer and a registered Local Observer Assessor. I voluntary assist other motorcyclists to improve their riding skills in order to become safer and to reach the standard of riding.
I am also interested in general DIY, watching Motorsports and playing the odd game of Golf.
