I was born and raised in Scotland but have lived in England since my early 20s, though my accent is still noticeable! I worked for most of my adult life as a management consultant but laterally worked for 7 years at Guide Dogs, managing their data analyst section (you can blame me for you being selected as a good candidate to do their raffle!). I have a range of interests, some of which I've been developing into talks I can give. These include subjects such as board and table games (I run two board games groups within a local U3A) and Shakespeare (which I disliked when young but grew to love). My talks usually have some humour injected into them (or, as someone once said, "he thinks they have"!).
