In His Own Words
About him
How to describe me- I read the FT and Guardian, enjoy politics and current affairs, rarely watch TV, listen to Radio 4 and Test Match Special, read as much as I can, used to enjoy going to the Cinema, Theater and Concerts and still occasionally get to a gallery and the odd museum. My last gallery trip was to the Musée d'Orsay a couple of weekends ago, my last books were The Reckoning by John Grisham and Warlight by Michael Ondaatje and I am currently trying to read Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth and The Value of Everything by Mariana Mazzucato. My main sources of entertainment are walking the family’s dogs, reading, birdwatching and holidays- often in Scotland or somewhere that is only a short flight from Bristol as I travel enough for business.
I started out as a neoliberal, looking to maximise the size of the pie but I am now a social liberal looking to ensure everyone receives an equitable share of the pie. More recently I have been concerned that the pie is made from an inclusive and sustainable economy. Remainer rather than remoaner.
Professionally I have spent a life time in the energy business, for the most part adding to global CO2 levels, although I did spend 5 years in nuclear but now I am trying hard to halt the inexorable rise in CO2 and concomitant climate change with a new start business with my sons in the zero waste economy. A grandiose way to say that we feeding waste to insects to provide alternative sources of protein and oil.
I spend about a third of my life living out of a suitcase working in the Middle East, usually Iran and the rest of the time working from home on the dining table or in our office in Paris. Any sensible work life divide is a challenge but I try and hope to do better in the future.
About his ideal match
I think it is impossible to write a job description for a friend or partner as experience suggests that the most unlikely people make the very best of friends.
I suppose I am looking for someone with a common world view, not afraid to share their ideas, thoughts and feelings, fun, open, honest, understanding ( I can't dance), forgiving, caring, tolerant....
Getting on with my sons will be important as they are not just my children but my business partners. My ex wife left over ten years ago, lives overseas and has no time for any of us.
