When not in the office I love spending time with my family and walking our Skye Terrier Minnie.

Sports (watching them sadly), socialising, family, friends, holidays, and my dog. If it doesn’t fit into one of those categories it’s just not me. So… if you know of anywhere in the world you’d recommend spending time with friends and family whilst watching sport in the sun, let me know!

I love spending time with my family both here and in Sweden where I grew up. Weekends are usually spent driving my daughter around to various sporting activities.

I love amazing architecture, gorgeous gardens, my pals and prosecco! I’m also a qualified massage/reflexologist. So when I’m not sorting out clients’ accounts I can be found practising therapies, visiting old buildings, gardening or socialising with family and friends - while enjoying a glass or two of fizz of course!

I love to travel and explore different countries. My absolute favourite places to be are Barbados and Naples, Fl. I really enjoy cooking and swim to relax and unwind. My family and friends are really important to me and I love to spend time having a meal and drinks together.

Andy has a passion for developing opportunities and working on new ideas online and offline. When away from his 'CUBE' office, Andy collects more guitars than he can play, loves spending time with his family and travelling to California is something that happens quite a lot too!

When Andy isn't in the office, he's either playing cricket, watching sport or socialising.

So many things bring me happiness but what brings me joy is having adventures (usually involving travel) with my son, going on long countryside walks with our miniature schnauzer Benjy and spending time with friends and family connecting and laughing til our bellies ache.

Most of my weekends are spent taking long walks with the 2 dogs and then recuperating with a decent beer and good food! A dab hand in the kitchen but also happy to sample other people's efforts!

I love the outdoors, so this could be skiing, golf or just a dog walk. Good food and wine is offset by regular gym visits - it's just a 2 minute walk so no excuse.

Besides spending time with the family and entertaining friends I enjoy travelling, and most outdoor activities.

I love playing and listening to music, I'm passionate about food. Swimming, Boot Camp, Weights and Krav Maga keep me sane. At the weekend I love spending time with my son, extremely supportive partner and my mad Jack Russell.

If I'm not busy with customers, I’ll likely be outside, probably with my two young children, swimming in the Thames (even during the Winter!) or finding a steep hill to cycle up.
