Hello.
I joined the Bristol office of TFT in October 2003 as a building surveyor, after many years with a multi-disciplinary practice.
When I’m not working I love gardening; I enjoy the fresh air, the exercise and admiring the finished product. My road is actually like something out of the film ‘Stepford Wives’… most gardens are immaculate. I’m constantly trying to keep up!
I suppose, deep down, I’m a frustrated architect. I have dozens of drawing pads at home, full of sketches of houses that have come straight out of my imagination. I’ve been drawing since I was a child, although as an adult it’s one of the only things that really relaxes me. That and LEGO (who doesn’t love LEGO?) I have tonnes of it.
And If I wasn’t a surveyor, I’d be a hotel inspector. I’ve watched all of Alex Polizzi’s TV shows – I’m more critical than she is! But instead, I’ll continue to be a regular hotel reviewer on TripAdvisor.
