For some time, I have been fascinated by the online quote-and-buy process in the wider financial services sector. I was particularly drawn to short-term vehicle insurance due to its tremendous potential for innovation and growth.

I am passionate about serving a diverse range of customers, all with an immediate need, and giving them exactly what they want online within minutes 24/7. This area of insurance provides exactly that.

I wouldn't say I hate anything about it, but I do get frustrated when things take longer than they should. Our business is geared up for agility, and it's hard when you encounter others that are not.

This is a hard question as there have been so many achievements and goals reached on our journey from being a start-up to where we are now. Launching a business in the depths of the chaos caused by Covid and still being able to run all our pre-launch projects and keep them on track so we could go live with a market-leading panel of five insurers and several schemes is probably my biggest achievement so far.

Continuing to offer high levels of service and still being able to embrace technology at the same time. Brokers must continue to offer a personal service whilst using innovation and tech to enhance their offerings - without losing touch with what their clients need and want.

To serve customers via online quote-and-buy platforms with super enriched niche products which deliver what they want, when they need it. Brokers must look beyond their core products to attract valuable ancillary customers. For sure, customers will turn to the internet if brokers can't or won't offer them what they want.

Apart from the obvious - my phone - it would be my AirPods. I love the noise cancellation so I can avoid distraction while enjoying the freedom to listen to music for inspiration and being able to take calls whilst on the move.

I don't have one. I prefer watching motorsport or golf when I have time!

Currently it would be Live is Life by Opus, the live edition, Big Sleep by Simple Minds, the live version, and Layla by Eric Clapton, the unplugged version.

Binge watching car restoration TV programmes. I love Car SOS, Wheeler Dealers and Chasing Classic Cars, much to my wife's disappointment!

I like spending time with my family, cooking for them, seeing friends and training in the gym. It's useful to have a break from work, but I often find myself checking in from the home office, which gives me a different perspective on projects from an alternative environment.
