In His Own Words
About him
I retired in 2025 as MD of a food manufacturing company in SE London. Since then I have taken on two voluntary roles, as a school governor, and as trustee of a local hospital charity. I have wide creative and practical interests, including art (I paint in acrylics, and visit exhibitions), DIY, English literature, gardening, keeping fit with tennis (I play usually twice a week), cycling, and the occasional park run. So keeping both brain and body in full working order!
I come across as a little reserved initially, but soon relax in the right company - yours, perhaps?
About his ideal match
A woman who is kind, wise, patient, happy with herself, free of emotional baggage, in reasonably good health, and ready to enjoy the years ahead. Who is content with holidays in the UK or Europe rather than wanting to roam the globe. Who has her own set of interests, some of which may overlap with mine, while others may not. Who prefers to talk things through rather than bottle them up. And likes animals, but keeps dogs out of the bedroom!
