PROFILE - Tall & skinny with a photographic memory, especially for numbers! Currently working on Jan's Van, & SMC's Webby bloke & rideouts / bike tours organiser. Variety is the spice of life (As long as it involves bikes!)

 

HOBBIES - Bikes first & always! They’ve been a constant feature in my life for over 40 years! Starting out in my dad’s sidecar as a kid, I’ve always loved & lived bikes & I’m now lucky enough to be around bikes every day!

 

EXPERIENCE - I’ve got ‘City & Guilds’ qualifications in machining, quality control (ISO 9002) & precision finishing in engineering.

 

Health & safety certificate, Fire safety certificate. Qualified to 16th edition, (BS 7671) in electrical installations, a member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers, but that’s just paperwork, my biggest achievement is learning to cook! An award is still pending!!

 

LIKES - Bikes! People! Beer! Technology! Nobody needed the mobile phone or Internet, but now it’s here, would you want to be without it????

 

DISLIKES - Bad manners, flat liners, & people who say they’re gonna do something, then don’t

 

HUMOUR - When I was kitchen fitting I had the job of connecting the ducting up for an extractor unit in a cramped roofspace full of soot.

 

Steve decided it was a good idea to test it before I’d finished! I emerged doing the World’s best impression of Al Jolson you ever saw
