The manging director and founder of resindriveways.co.uk joined a property maintenance company in 1986 after leaving William Parker Grammar School. After 5 years working there he went on to peruse his childhood dream by joining the British Merchant Navy.

During his time as a Petty Officer on voyages around the world, especially in the hotter regions (Australia, New Zealand, and even the Mediterranean) he was surprised to see many properties had resin bonded driveways, paths and patios, and even anti-slip surfaces around swimming pools. What did these countries have in common, that they were now experiencing? Extreme heat and of course with global warming this was increasing.
