Meet the Team Quick Fire Questions:

Q: Do you have a nickname?

Not that I’m aware of…..

Q: What’s the one thing you can’t live without?

Food, especially unhealthy food

Q: Worst fear?

Not having enough work for everyone to do.

Q: What’s the best film you’ve watched?

Home Alone (and Home Alone 2), both classic films and by far my all-time favourites.

Q: What’s your cheesiest joke?

Not sure if any of my cheese jokes are ‘Gouda’ enough for the website

Q: Where has been your favourite place to travel in the world?

I went to Shanghai a few years ago, that was a real eye opener – I loved it!

Q: If you could be a superhero, what superpower would you have?

I’d quite like to be able to fly, that would be pretty cool.

Q: What are three things still left on your bucket list?

I don’t really have a bucket list, I just try and embrace opportunities as they arise.

Q: If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

I’d like to sit down with Claudio Ranieri and find out what went wrong the season after we won the league.

Q: What was the best concert/show you have ever attended?

The Streets in Birmingham as part of their comeback tour.

Q: If you were a piece of Premier equipment, what would you be and why?

I’m going to go with a production case as it’s a handy bit of kit to have on site, regardless of what the event is. Its full of useful tools, tape and spare parts that can help our technicians solve problems at an event.

Q: What’s your favourite 90’s song?

As a former DJ this is a very difficult question but I’m going to have to go with Stardust – Music Sounds Better with You.

Q: What’s the best event you’ve worked on and why?

I really enjoy working on the KFC annual conference, its hard work managing 1400 people and 9 rooms but its such a cool event to be part of.
