Why did you get into printing?
As a youngster I was forever visiting the office and I guess I was brought up with printing all around me. Needless to say over time I came to appreciate the power of print and the industry
What would be your dream job?
If I was to do anything else other than my current job, it would be heading back to the mountains ski instructing again although that chapter is done and I am thoroughly enjoying the challenges of the print industry!
What is your favourite film?
Tough one to call – Forrest Gump, Blood Diamond and for sheer money thrown at making it The Art of Flight has to be up there for my love of the mountains
What is your favourite TV programme?
Not really a TV person, except for getting hooked on Breaking Bad like everyone else – but any live sport on the television I will happily watch
Who or what do you hate the most?
Ignorance and dishonesty
Who do you admire most in print?
I would have to go for the old man for this one! It’s fair to say the industry has changed somewhat during his 30 years as MD at Galloways, and to remain successful during that period has allowed the company to invest and evolve with new technologies
What is your favourite album?
Again, a tricky one to call – Definitely Maybe, Alive 2007 and the Blueprint are all iPod favourites
What is your greatest luxury in life?
My passport – giving me the opportunity to travel and seeing new places
Who or what makes you laugh?
A night out with family and friends after a busy week. Always guaranteed to make you smile
Where would you like to be now?
In the mountains
What’s your worst fashion disaster?
I would have to say my passport photo in my late teens – a dyed blonde mullet! Thankfully the 10 years are nearly up and I can soon get rid of that picture
Who would be your favourite party guests?
People who have lived out their dreams and have a few interesting sub-stories along the way – as a Manchester United fan George Best would have some stories to tell, Leonardo DiCaprio seems to be living quite well at the moment and I suppose I couldn’t ignore Sir Alex
What is the worst kind of print?
Any print whereby the end user hasn’t been thought about, and has been produced with price being the only factor considered
How would you like to be remembered?
Honest, hardworking and approachable
Life is…?
For enjoying and working hard… you get out of it what you put in!
