My background and training is in the marine leisure industry and I’m the proprietor of a boatyard, chandlery shop and Post Office which has been trading successfully for some 45 years.
I have a son who is a Master Mariner based in Jersey. He has a 3-year-old son. My daughter is a flight attendant based in Detroit, USA. She has an 8-month-old daughter. I am naturally very proud of my family.
