Over the years I have found one of my best strengths is my ability to recognise talent and trust them.

If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. You must love what you do.

Kitesurfing is one of the greatest sports in the world. I highly recommend this to anyone who has access to the ocean. There is nothing more freeing than being out there and kitesurfing. When my schedule permits, it's the first thing I do in the morning, before I have breakfast. Tennis is also fun, especially against someone far better at the sport than I am.

You don't have to be one of the Elders. You don't have to be well known. You just have to be determined to care about people. That's all it takes.

With all my employees, I listen to them, trust in them, believe in them, respect them and let them have a go! I never believe I know better than they do and have been fortunate over the years to build up a very strong management team whom I can trust and take advice from.

Commitment is not letting people down. That's very important in life.

My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself
