Each week we shine the spotlight on a prominent person in Dorset and ask him, or her, for answers to our part fun/part serious questionnaire. This time…

His favourite smell is pine, he gets angry at bad design and websites that don’t work properly, chooses his Grandpa as his childhood hero, and looks for honesty, integrity, shared values, good banter and a good work ethic in a new employee.
