What is your favourite childhood memory?
​Taking a motor launch to get to a deserted Scilly Isle beach.
What’s your idea of a fun entertaining weekend?
​A session in the Gym, leisurely food and drink, long walks in spectacular scenery or any combination.
Share your favourite movie and favourite song.

​Having studied IMDB for no more than 12 hours, I would say ‘Cowboys and Aliens’, ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’, ‘Ex-Machina’, ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’, ‘Lion’. Variety is the spice of life.

What is the favourite piece of technology that you own?

​Stirrup pump for my bike.

Does technology simplify life or make it more complicated?

​Ahh, the multi-million dollar question: Social media technology is unequivocally bad for humanity and makes life much more complicated, anything else technological is fabulous. Currently, I’m in awe of the clean water technologies…

What is the best thing about your work?

​It allows me to meet interesting people, admire a vast range of innovative projects that are conducted each year and for me to contribute to the success of the UK’s engineering and technology industries.

If you could change one thing about the R&D scheme what would it be?

​For HMRC when promoting the scheme to highlight that the work of preparing claims is primarily a TECHOLOGICAL not Accounting task.

Which is the one technology that has made the world a better place?

​Papyrus, paper and the pen. I think we can count that as ‘one’.

Which technology, that does not exist, would you like to see invented & why?

​Something that automatically detects when people pronounce on things about which they are ill-informe, and blanks their voice.
