What is your favorite restaurant to take a client or colleague to?

There are many to choose from but Bocca Di Lupo in London and Botana in Jersey are firm favourites of mine.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

Always treat others how you would wish to be treated yourself- advice I endeavour to live by, however challenging the circumstances.

What was your first job?

I had a paper round every Sunday when I was a teenager, which earned me between £8 and £10 per week. Perhaps this is why I opted for something a little more lucrative and a little less back-breaking as my eventual career!

What is the book you recommend to everyone?

For an epic and enthralling read every time, The Far Pavilions by M. M. Kaye.
