Why did you join TPP?

Because of Tracey and Nicky! I met with Tracey and Nicky back in 2008 and knew straight away that I wanted to work with them. Well over a decade later, I am still learning so much from them both.

Your greatest achievement? 

Making an edible birthday cake… once.

Unusual fact? 

The UK has the world’s longest country name. The UKs official title of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland makes it the longest recognised country name in the world.

Favourite film or book? 

I LOVE to read...Mario Puzo’s Godfather series (especially The Sicilian) are firm favourites, as are Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series, but then there is The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid, A fine balance by Rohinton Mistry… I could go on and on, it is impossible for any true bookworm to have just one favourite!

Tea or Coffee? 

Yuck to both. I don’t like hot drinks and prefer my beverages to be ice cold, no matter the weather.
