1 What was your first job?

I got a paper round at 13 to start saving for my (then) dream car – a blue Mini. I’ve not stopped working since!

2 What was your first company car, and what do you drive now?

Audi A4 – now driving a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

3 What did you listen to on your last car journey?

Silence – enjoying the perks of an electric car. I had anticipated the fuel savings, but not expected how much calmer a silent drive would make me feel.

4 What one thing do you wish you could do better?

Follow through with my intention to get up for an early-morning dog walk before the chaos ensues.

5 What’s your biggest achievement?

Being the UK’s first business to enable anyone to find the best solution for their alcohol- and drug-testing requirements.

6 What are your three favourite films?

The Italian Job (hence my first job above), The Shawshank Redemption and Inception.

7 What’s the stupidest thing you’ve done?

Far too many to specify, but there have been some very dubious hairstyles…

8 What was the most hotly debated topic at your last meeting

Why convicted drink-drivers in the UK do not have the same legal requirements to have interlocks fitted to their vehicles as they do in the rest of Europe and the US before getting their licence back.

9 What would be your specialist subject on Mastermind?

The Beatles song lyrics.

10 What’s the worst thing about your job?

Persuading people to believe that just because a device says it’s a police breathalyser and is sold by an online marketplace that it’s what they’d expect; if it costs a tenner then it’s a fake

11 What one law would you make or change?

To bring the drink-drive limit in England and Wales in line with Scotland, Ireland and the rest of Europe. Any alcohol makes you three times more likely to have an accident; being at the English limit means you are six times more likely to cause a fatality.

12 What did you want to be when you grew up?

A vet.

13 Who is your ideal celebrity date?

Stephen Fry for banter; George Clooney for brawn.
