I was largely brought up on my grandfathers vast sporting estate so we are a seriously landed gentry. Consequently,I had an elite upper class upbringing and attending the finest schools. After university I went out to Australia to work in the family's sugar company. I was the fifth generation to work out there - it was in the Top Hundred List of largest companies on the Sydney Stock Exchange so we were the sugar magnates and a famous and respected family. Later I built a eco resort in the tropics but sold that as my wife wanted to returned to England. There I reinvested in London properties incl a small hotel and a big pub in Chelsea and also a couple of houses plus others in France,Greece and in Hong Kong where I rent my houses to professional Chinese & foreigners - all of which provide me with a good income. I go out to HK annually as an excuse to avoid the UK winter! and also go to both Australia and Southern Africa too at that time. I am sadly divorced and currently live alone in a nice house near the sea. I am here in Vietnam for a min. of 3 years to look at the prospects of investing here as I like the country and people very much. Personality wise I am fairly extrovert and love meeting people of all ranks in society. I think I am well mannered, a man of utmost integrity,an enquiring mind, an even temperament and of an open disposition who loves to laugh and seem to have an ability to make others laugh too- probably as I don't take myself too seriously. I have to say that I have a good voice (inherited from my opera singing father) and I speak well and this gives a fair indication of my personality. I have played a lot of cricket and rugby but today watch and play golf instead. Although I live reasonably frugally my one big extravagance is buying water colour paintings,antique furniture,first edition books at the many auction houses throughout England - still the most civilized of countries. Other interests incl. bridge,chess, ephemera, ecclesiastical architecture and big game fishing. Does this brief Profile give you an idea of me I wonder? I hope so.
