Is how BBC Radio’s Sarah Gorrell introduced me as her lunch guest a few month’s ago.

I’d been invited in to talk about my life and career. During a really entertaining wide ranging interview of just under 20 minutes we covered 50 years of work and community service.

Here’s a few of the topics we discussed.

It was a hugely enjoyable interview attracting a number of favourable comments from listeners.

I liked that Sarah asked

“What next for you, you’re obviously someone who never stops…”

Which gave me the chance to talk about Bees Homes Property Limited and the Japanese concept of “Omotenashi”; about thinking ahead to meet needs of clients before they are voiced.
