Outside the office
John is a family man and enjoys a walk on the downs, followed by lunch in a local Sussex pub. He loves sport, especially rugby and tennis, however his main passion is skiing, where he has been known to have been dropped into the Canadian mountain wilderness by helicopter, in order to experience the ultimate in off-piste skiing. Quite a feat for someone who gets dizzy climbing a step ladder!!
