Industry Interview<br />
What's the strangest or funniest<br />
experience you've had at work?<br />
Having worked in this industry for the<br />
past 16 years I’ve seen a lot of funny<br />
and strange moments! The two that<br />
stick in my mind are the lady who<br />
thought she had to pay for swans on<br />
the river to be there for her wedding<br />
day. The second one is dressing up<br />
as a lion to visit agents in various<br />
weird and wonderful locations<br />
for a promotion!<br />
What's your favourite holiday<br />
destination and why?<br />
UK wise it has to be Cornwall because<br />
it is like a second home. The beaches,<br />
restaurants and pubs are amazing, as<br />
are the people.<br />
Crete will always be special because<br />
of my honeymoon there.<br />
What one word best<br />
describes you?<br />
Passionate.<br />
What achievements are you<br />
most proud of?<br />
I left college at 19 years old and<br />
decided not to go to university.<br />
I didn't have any career plans and<br />
fell into this industry. I'm proud of what<br />
I've achieved so far. A part from a short<br />
time working with an events company,<br />
I've always been in hotels or hospitality<br />
- it's like a magnet that just keeps<br />
pulling you back.<br />
I'm the proud father of four<br />
boisterous and beautiful children.<br />
What's your favourite movie?<br />
'Enemy of the State' with<br />
Will Smith and Gene Hackman.<br />
Cornwall<br />
Cornwall - St Ives<br />
Crete<br />
Can you name one thing people<br />
may not know about you?<br />
When I was younger I was the lead<br />
singer in an indie band and had a very<br />
small column in the up and coming<br />
section in the UK edition of NME<br />
magazine.<br />
