Who Am I to Write a Blog?
In my seventh decade on this planet I find myself driving a truck. Winchester, UCL, Cavalry Officer, Business, CEO, truck driver wasn’t the plan, but it’s how things turned out. I tell myself my life’s been a lot more interesting that it would have been had I simply done PPE and got myself a job with Goldman Sachs. Some days I almost believe it!
I certainly have done a fair amount of interesting stuff, from being a British Army officer to founding, running and saving companies. These experiences (plus a lot of reading and thinking) have given me some wisdom, along with some scars. That is what underpins what I think and what I write.
I’m primarily interested in economics, business, politics and I can’t let the military go. Agriculture is also intriguing - I used to live on a beef farm and from my cab I see the farming year from the south coast to Derbyshire.
I hope that you find my writing informative, interesting, challenging and entertaining. I try to ensure that if I quote a fact it’s correct and include links where possible.
