About me Personally
I am a single Gentleman and whilst I have never married and have no kids, I am a family man.
I mention this as I am able to work after hours or travel at the drop of a hat should the Business require.
I have a passion for sports and play both Golf and Cricket regularly and watch all sports.
I do feel that given the right environment I am someone who can add value and become an asset.
