Outside of work

Stuart is an early morning dog walker, though his 10-year-old cocker spaniel, Mulberry, would rather hit snooze - especially if it's raining! A travel enthusiast, Stuart is always finding a reason to jet off to London, where he enjoys catching up with clients, family and friends, while still managing to squeeze in the odd West End show, concert, or sporting event.
