On The Spot With Tim Marlow

What was your first job?

I worked front of house at Pizza Hut, 4pm-1am every Friday and Saturday and loved it.

If not in your present job, what would you like to be?

It would have to be a footballer – even with my rugby physique.

What would your ideal day out of the office be?

Visiting potential customers to show them how we can help benefit the business profit levels in the morning, signing up a personal client over lunch on his new McLaren and then finishing the day off visiting a couple of our supporting dealers to help cement relationships.

Name one person you would like to have dinner with.

Richard Branson.

What was your best subject at school?

PE by far.

What are your hobbies?

Rugby and keeping fit.

What’s your top time-saving tip?

Avoid driving long distances if possible. You get much more work done on trains and planes.

What would you do if you won the Lotto?

I suppose it depends how much but I can never imagine myself not working in some capacity.

What is your favourite garment?

My Weber apron. Whenever I wear this it means the sun is shining and we are having some quality family time with a good old-fashioned BBQ lunch/dinner.

What was your worst mistake?

Getting involved in an industry that I didn’t fully understand as it slowed my progress.

What is your favourite time of day and why?

6.30pm – the kids’ bath time.

What is the best thing about Yorkshire?

People are honest and speak their mind.

What would you like your epitaph to be?

Worked hard, played harder – the fastest prop around.
