Home is Bury, where I have lived for 20 years and work is in a beautiful farmhouse in Lymm, Cheshire.

I also love the South of France, such as Eze and St Tropez, my favourite restaurants there are L’opera and Baoli and La Guérite in Cannes.

In business, I admire hardworking, humble people who are generous and caring and who look after others. People who support each other and lift each other up.

What was the most extravagant request from a client?

To gift wrap an entire house as a surprise for our client’s parents.

Which event that you’ve worked on are you most proud of?

We are currently working with a client who works tirelessly to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for children’s charities each year, and we are very honoured to be part of this.

What was the last gift that you gave someone?

Bad manners and lycra chair covers.
