Outside of the Office
Alan is a keen surfer when he can find the time (and the surf!) and also enjoys oil painting, for which he is studying part-time at The Slade School of Fine Art. As a self-adopted Aussie, Alan’s ultimate plan is to find himself one day “down under” with his own beach pad overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In the interim, he visits as regularly as his busy workload permits
