I’m still working for Omnicom Media Group. 10 year anniversary approaching! Over the past few years, our main issue remains in identifying good people and when we do, keeping them. Opportunities abroad have increased and the millennials are quick to change their minds. Personally; kids are growing fast and we’re getting older!

2. On a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you with your life in Hungary, and why?
7. Budapest is a great City to live in. Service is still a little hit and miss but we have been very happy here for 15 years. My daughter was also born here.

3. What’s the best party you’ve been to while in Hungary, and why?
My wife and I’s 40th birthday party and 10 year anniversary back in 2008 at the vineyard at Etyek. We also attended a friend of ours 50th recently. Two nights of celebration certainly took its toll!

4. What’s your favourite drink?
Red wine from Bordeaux.

5. What hidden talents do you have?
I can juggle, and there is another one which is best kept hidden.

6. What was the most interesting travel trip you have ever taken?
I do a cycle ride for charity every two years in support of Cancer Research. Intial ride was from Glasgow to London together with 3 friends and support van. The most recent, in June, was alone from Marseille to London, riding 9 hours a day, no support van and carrying everything with me. Some 1000 miles in 9 days. Next ride may well be Budapest to London in June 2017.

A cure for cancer.
