Q: Outside of work, what are your hobbies and interests?
A: I enjoy sports, and I’ve loved Formula One for as long as I can remember. I like football, and I’m a Reading FC season ticket holder. I also enjoy metal and rock music, and I frequently go to gigs.
Q: What’s the most interesting thing on your desk right now?
A: My ‘Word-a-Day’ calendar. I set myself a challenge every day to incorporate the word into my work. Easier said than done!
Q: What’s something about you that your colleagues wouldn’t know?
A: During the first lockdown, I learned the flag of every country (out of sheer boredom!). I think it’s probably still my most useless skill.
