Each week we shine the spotlight on a member of Dorset’s business community and ask him, or her, for answers to our part fun/part serious questionnaire. This time…

His favourite smell is freshly baked bread, he’d like to share a car with Nelson Mandela, lists Sir Ian Botham as his childhood hero and, of course, chooses Top Gear as his favourite TV show.
