What’s your golden rule?
Less is more.

Who has been your biggest influence?
My wife. She ensures I keep things in perspective and constantly reminds me not to take life too seriously.

What is your most hated business expression?
“110%”

What’s the smartest business idea you’ve ever had?
More of a learning really… to embrace change – it’s inevitable.

Which leader do you admire most and why?
Sir Richard Branson. The epitome of entrepreneurialism and that’s at the heart of our industry. A great idea really can come from anywhere, but it takes obsession and passion in equal measure to make it happen.

What’s your favourite word?
“Discombobulate”. Even writing it makes me smile.

Tell us a secret.
I’m incapable of lying – I’m far too transparent and these days have a terrible memory!

    Chris is a true gent of the industry. I worked with him for several years back in my BA days when he was a whipper snapper. Excellent then and I am sure excellent now.
