INTERESTS

WORK HIGHLIGHTS

Away from work, I’m a huge fan of cinema and aim to watch at least two or three movies each week.

Paolo Sorrentino’s ‘The Great Beauty’ and Béla Tarr’s ‘Werckmeister Harmonies’ are my favourite films,

but that’s likely to change at little notice. For the rest of my free time, I can be found buried in a book

or taking photographs of one thing or other. Fitness is quite important to me; I enjoy running, swimming

or going to the gym, combined with playing football – I captained Havas’ 5-a-side team – and cycling when

the weather suits it. With the sliver of time left over, I also like cooking (although I can’t bake to save my life),

heading out to exhibitions with friends and messing around with motorcycles.
