Outside of the office

Matt lives in Worthing and enjoys hiking and being outdoors. He previously completed the National Three Peaks challenge with friends for charity and is now eying up challenges further afield!

Matt also loves to travel and has been fortunate enough to visit many wonderful places across the world – from the Great Barrier Reef and Blue Mountains in Australia to Yosemite National Park and the Grand Canyon in the US. His most recent trip was to Italy visiting places of interest in Rome, Florence, Verona, Lake Garda & Venice.

When he is not on the go Matt enjoys getting stuck into a good book and most importantly, spending time with his partner and two dogs.
