In my youth I obtained a degree in Building, BSC.Hons, at Brighton College of Technology, what is now Brighton University.I worked for George Wimpey &Co. which at the time was one of the UK’s largest construction companies. During various times I was employed in their surveying department, on site as an engineer, as a quantity surveyor, a specialised cost accountant using Wimpey’s own system and as a planning engineer in their Cardiff office.However by chance, by being at the right place at the right time, I was able to change my career and became an airline pilot. I retired after 32 years of flying and now with my son Pascal, are building a property company.
