1. Favourite tool brand?

CK all day for me. Old school are the best.

Ambitious, positive, kind.

The E5 group, especially Paul Meehan. Their level of knowledge and standards drive me to try and be one of the best.

4. Favourite influencer?

Not an influencer as such, but I love the Sparkies Electrical Club, the togetherness, 'making sparkies great!', love it!

Probably skiing down the French Alps alone in terrible weather conditions; the fear and adrenaline rush was an amazing feeling!

A roast with enough potatoes to put me into a carb coma.

100% tidying away all your tools at the end of the day. You'll normally find even the smallest job empties the entire truck!

I wanted to be Neil Armstrong.

Brains on site!
