Why did you get into printing? 

My first printing job was as a silk screen printer for a company in Horsham. I don’t think there is another print process quite like it, I loved the craft and the skill needed to get it right. It was my first taste of the print industry and from then on, I was hooked

What would be your dream job? 

Photojournalist; changing the world one image at a time

Who would play you in a movie about your life? 

A 45-year-old Harrison Ford, or a similar-aged Kevin Costner if Harrison is busy, which is possible. Although really, given that I work with lasers on a daily basis, Mark Hamill’s experience with lightsabers, might make him a more practical choice

Blade Runner

Who or what do you hate the most? 

Good people being taken advantage of

Who do you admire most in the industry?

Cat or dog, or…?

What is your greatest luxury in life? 

Good cheese. Life is way too short for mild cheddar

What’s your greatest fear? 

Too many to mention; the news seems to throw up something new daily

Who or what makes you laugh? 

My sons’ very odd humour. They go from driest wit to ludicrous slapstick in the space of 30 seconds

The perfect natural renewable energy generator, it feels like progress is painfully slow when there are so many viable options

Which celebrity would you like to get out of here? Why? 

I’m not a big celebrity follower, I can come up with a long list of politicians and world leaders that I would gladly remove from their pedestals

When my best man revealed my collection of Wham! memorabilia including scrap books and drawings, the fewer people that know about that the better. Oops.

By the sea
