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…

Her favourite holiday location is the Greek Islands, she’d choose steamed sponge pudding over melon, like to share a car with Louis Theroux and wants to be remembered for ‘being epic’.
