ABOUT US

 

Yvonne spends far too much time clearing up after her other half's hobbies (see below!) and therefore struggles to find time to indulge in other passions outside work which include going to the gym, listening to Eric Clapton (she should be acknowledged as his greatest fan!) and finding the best tonic to go with her gin.

 

Outside of work, Keith has a passion for Rugby - particularly Welsh - music (Bach, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin making up an eclectic mix), sailing (which includes never ending maintenance on a 30 year old boat) and good beer - not necessarily in that order.
