Sometimes I wish that I had kept the last rolo for myself / why didn’t I start-up Google?!

Both my parents continue to show an enormous level of strength, support and love that I find staggering. Also, my friend Andrew who has been extraordinarily inspirational on both a personal and professional level. I wouldn’t be where I am today without these people.
