Hobbies

Shooting: Having come from a family with a history in the shooting industry I have a deep-rooted passion for all the aspects of gamekeeping including my vermin control. I enjoy beating on other shoots when time allows during the winter as this can sometimes lead to new ideas to help benefit the shoot. I have also occasionally hosted days on another shoot and acted as a loader for my previous boss. I also enjoy working and training my gun dogs. Construction: I have a keen interest with working with timber and have constructed brooder huts and verandas for rearing birds, as well as stables, dog runs, show jumps and sheds.
