Introduction Have run mhd partnership for around 27 years and 3 recessions. Still going, still enthusiastic about solving problems and just getting better at what I do. Have been working with train companies since the 'age of the train' (thanks Jimmy) and have seen it all before, which is why we specialise in the transportation sector, although we often get called upon by companies from other sectors to help them out. In 2004 I helped my wife start a gymnastics club in Swindon, which I must be honest, doesn't have a great sporting pedigree. However she has surpassed herself and with a little help from good design and a proper integrated marketing campaign, she has established Esprit gymnastics as one of the top clubs in the country. Numerous medals at every level, GB team members, British Champions, Youth Olympic medal winners blah, blah. It has been so successful I must admit it has become as important in my life as mhd partnership. Its a lot of hard work, keeping both running smoothly, but it is unbelievably rewarding. The only downside is I don't get to go fishing as often as I used to.
Interests My company, my clients companies, my kids, my wife, my wife's gymnastics club, and for me just fishing!
Favorite Movies There are a lot out there, so how could you pick only one or two?
Favorite Music Anything. I'm now in my 5th decade, so i've heard a lot of good and quite a bit of bad music in my time. Must admit though Meatloaf brings back a lot of memories!
Favorite Books 2012 A conspiracy Tale - My mate wrote it, it's his first book and to be honest its a great read. Not that I'm surprised, honest!

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
