‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams – I defy anyone not to bop along to this!🎶

Q5. The best thing about working at Forth?
The friendly, entrepreneurial vibe.
Q6. A person or an event in your life that has had the most positive impact on you?
I read a book called ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ by Robert Kiyosaki. It changed my life and gave me financial freedom and helped me develop a property portfolio. In terms of an event, I recently took a zipline on a Welsh mountain – the tallest and fastest in Europe. I reached 109mph – the screams were very cathartic!
Q7. Your favourite quote?
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement” and “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway”.
Q8. Who are your dream celebrity dinner guests?
Maria Callas – the ultimate bel canto opera singing diva – love her style and she has a beautiful voice. Stephen Bartlett – ‘Diary of a CEO’ author and ‘Dragon’s Den’ judge. He offers intelligent, powerful and modern insights about business and he is an approachable millennial. Also Dr Anthony Chaffee – he’s a neurosurgeon that only eats meat. His powerful speech ‘Plants are trying to kill you’ helped change my diet and millions of others too! Peter Kay as well – funniest man alive!
Q9. Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
Singing and playing music: I’m a creative and published author so any free time I have I’m scribbling away at my latest novel. I also love refurbishing furniture and interior designing properties.🏡
Q10. Pineapple on pizza?
Absolutely NOT – it’s an abomination!
