Geoffrey's Life

He was born in 1953 and attended a number of schools in the UK following his Fathers career moves. He left school with some 16 GCE's (as they were in those days). His further education was cut short when an interest/passion for motorcycles/racing resulted in a serious accident and several months of hospitalisation, recuperation and 3 months of being unable to walk. 

At college his intended career option was Bio-Chemistry and Physics this misfortune resulted in a complete career change, with the first few years of his working life spent with the then Midland Bank.

This proved an excellent insight into the world of finance and sound footing for moving into Surveying, Auctioneering and Estate Agency work where he became a partner for one of the larger firms of Estate Agents and Surveyors in the UK. Parallel to this he was developing farming interests and, operated a substantial soft fruit farm with later diversification into holiday, leisure and golf course development. A company sale in the 80's enabled even broader diversification of career into several parallel strands, which still included Farming and Leisure but now included Aviation, Property Investment and Development and a burning passion for Politics.

As Chief Executive of a Manx based company he moved to the Island permanently in the late 80's.
