I have a background in mechanical engineering and enjoy working with my hands. I design and build things, all sorts of things – I’ve built my own campervan from scratch, half of the furniture in my home. It’s a very basic thing: you start with this idea in your head and your figure out whether…

The night of the week I look forward to most is when I head out to the deepest depths of Essex with my trusty Gibson guitar in the trunk of the car to jam the night away in a three-piece rock band (still looking for a lead guitarist). Lead singer and rhythm guitar is my…

My little brother is 12 years younger than me and over the last year or so, he’s been saying to me that I’m the father he’s never had. That makes me feel really proud. We grew up in Enna, in Sicily, and it was a difficult childhood – we grew up without a father, so…

I think the most exciting project I’ve worked on at Colt is the one I’m working on at the moment, which is a network-on-demand platform for our customers. It’s a groundbreaking platform. It really changes the game for how people access our services – things that used to take days to deliver now take minutes.

I love sport, especially football. At school I was a basketball player but then I transferred to a different high school where everyone played football – it was only me who didn’t know how to play. After a year or so, I was a pretty decent player and now, about 15 years later, I still…

I don’t collect stamps or cards or watches. I collect new places, people and feelings. I come from a small town in the west of Spain – it’s your typical ancient town, with lots of cathedrals and castles. I was born there and I grew up there. Then when I was 11, I went to…

The most influential person in my life is my father. He’s the most solid person I’ve ever encountered. He’s always approachable about anything, whether it’s personal or about work, and he’s the least judgemental person I know. He runs three businesses but he always finds time for charity work – he’s just come back from…

My parents moved to the UK in the 60s, my mother from Uganda and my father from India. Soon after that, my uncle came to join us. He was kind of one of my idols and mentors growing up. He was a Chief Buyer at a supermarket chain so he used to travel all over…

My parents immigrated from Hong Kong in the 70s for the restaurant business, so I grew up in restaurants. I would sit at a table at the back of the restaurant eating my dinner and doing my homework. As I got older, I would serve guests as well, I’d make drinks, do the dishwashing, sometimes…

You should always treat people as you’d like to be treated by others, that’s something my parents taught me and it’s something I always keep in mind. In business, in your personal life, you always need to be conscious of the other people around you. My biggest hobby is music – I’m the president of…
