As a fund manager, Christian sometimes took contrarian views. This may be why he left the South of France to move to cold and wet Scotland, when the whole North of Europe seems to be migrating in the other direction. Christian speaks French and Spanish and on moving to Scotland, even took (and passed!) an O-Grade in Gaelic.

He likes French and Italian wines and is currently learning Italian so he can visit the various producers during his holidays. For some years now, Christian has imported his favourite wines and champagne into the UK and he is often asked to present them at tasting sessions. His other great interests are literature and cinema, making him a mine of information on those subjects!

His next move will be to go back to karate classes to lose the excess weight he has accumulated during his wine and food tastings but for the time being he runs to maintain the energy required to visit clients all over Europe and Canada.

 This year he plans to practice his Gaelic by going back to the West coast of Scotland, one of the most beautiful parts of the world, when it does not rain and there are no midges!
