Have you given me a quick overview of your history? Yeah, no,

you know, Coventry has a very nostalgic kind of feeling for me.

I grew up as a youngster in Coventry on the Ernstford Grange estate.

And my father was a quantity surveyor for Coventry Corporation.

And because of that, basically, you know, I would kind of be on his coattails coming into the city and I'd be at the Herbert Art Gallery and, you know, he'd be working on the Motor Museum, for instance, and many major projects.

So my father largely shaped a lot of the kind of 70s and 80s architecture in Coventry.

You know, going to see Father Christmas in Owen Owen's department store.

Good to hear.
