I can’t live without the gym because I am a very fitness orientated person.
Where is the best place you have travelled to and why?

Elon Musk – he is very smart so it would be interesting to hear from him.
Barack Obama – He is a very inspirational figure and role model.
Francis Ngannou – The story of how he rose to the top of his sport is inspirational so it would be cool to gain more insight into that.
Eddie Murphy – Everyone says I have the same laugh as him so I think it would be funny to have us both at the table together.

To become a pilot in the RAF

My first day here, it was strange to be in a new team after working at different company for so many years.
