Storeperson
Alan arrived in New Zealand with his family in 1966 and attended Westlake Boys High School. Over the years, he has had a varied and fulfilling career that has included sail making, working with NZ Post, and time in the security industry. He also owned and operated his own café for 16 years, followed by six years running a handyman business.
Alan joined Equus in May and, as the newest member of the team, jokingly refers to himself as “the baby” at age 65!
Sports and the outdoors have always played a big role in his life. At 18, Alan had a trial as a professional footballer for Charlton Athletic. Though originally from London, he has always supported Manchester City. His greatest passion, however, is sailing. He had the incredible opportunity to sail around the world in 1992, and it’s a love that continues to this day – especially now that he has recently purchased his own yacht.
Alan also enjoys long walks, a carryover from my earlier days as both a long-distance runner and sprinter. He is married with one daughter.
