About Me

Hi. I’m Gary.

I live in a small village 10 miles north of Manchester in England. I’m married and I have two sons. My family is everything to me.  A big part of our family are two gorgeous black Labradors called Twiggy & Isla.

My perfect day is as a Taxi Dad, ferrying one of my lads somewhere in the North West to play cricket in the summer or rugby in the winter. Precious times.

My professional experience has been varied, working for large businesses, turning small businesses around, starting new businesses, helping social enterprises and co-founding a charity.
