More on Guy
Away from the business, Guy loves to keep himself fit and chooses to do this on his beloved bike spending hours and hours seeking hills and coffee shops! He also plays golf to a very average 18 handicap which reflects how often he gets on the course. With 2 grown up sons, he is always looking out for opportunities to watch them play rugby.
"You were inspiring Guy and truly reached the imagination of every person in the room. Gerard has seen many speakers over the years so his comment that yours was the best he had ever heard was quite something. The next day I was bombarded with people coming into my office to say how much they had taken from the event."
