Personal Background
ZZ is a car fanatic who dreams of a Porsche 911 and an avid Manchester United fan who has seen better days. Enjoys jumping off from height as an ex-paratrooper and always up for the next roller-coaster ride.
ZZ firmly believes in doing the right thing – even if it means having difficult conversations or taking on additional overhead to improve a situation. Memorably, ZZ successfully brought forward an AGM with a developer for a significantly delayed project and spearheaded a series of improvements for the estate, including a multi-govt agency liaison to pave an entirely new road complete with street lightings.
