A little bit of history...

Born in London, my early years were spent in Cornwall with a later move to Manchester. I attended Grammar school followed by College of Technology studying Polymer Chemistry. My working life has always incorporated chemicals. At the start of my career, I worked for 5 years in chemical research before later moving into a technical sales role. In 1977 I moved into the chemical distribution industry, and in 2001 established Ceda Chemicals.

My main sporting interests are tennis, football and golf and I have a love of classic British cars.
