About Joe

I live in Altrincham as my wife, Michelle, is a consultant paediatrician at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester and we have three amazing children – Ellie, Alex and Olly, who keep us extremely busy with their hectic social lives/interests/activities! We have a pony and a cat and absolutely no plans for any further additions to the household!

We love our winter holidays in “snowy” France and summer holidays in “rainy” Abersoch. Looking forward to resurrecting my golf and cricket careers when (if) I can retire.
