At home

Daniel is married to Judith with two daughters, aged 21 and 17, and two greyhound dogs we have had since puppies – we have never raced them and they are couch potatoes.

Daniel’s active sporting life is now spectating. He enjoys watching football, tennis and cricket, with the occasional game of golf. His youngest daughter is a member of a theatre group and he has enjoyed many a time watching her shows.

Any other spare time is spent volunteering – during Covid Daniel was helping manage a local food bank. He is also a Trustee of the Purbeck Youth & Community Foundation.
