I’m a Londoner who moved to Christchurch, New Zealand in 2002. After studying economics and finance at Manchester University and a couple of years of backpacking I ended up working in the financial markets in London. I traded currencies for 11 years which was more than enough and in 2000 decided to explore new opportunities. I spent 18 months helping start up Trucost, an environmental research company, in London and then moved with my family to Christchurch. Since then I’ve returned to University studying political science and helped start up another company, VortexDNA. I also volunteer for Refugee Services, Christchurch Budget Services and Pillars which keeps me out of mischief. Feel free to contact me with any ideas you want to develop or publicise
