Originally from London Lawrence has been part of our parent company the Trustland Group for over 10 years and has recently joined the Recipro team working in our ReciproCity. We’ve asked him a variety of questions so you can get to know him a little better.
What was your favourite food when you were a child?
With my parents originating from St Lucia, as a child I loved boiled green bananas with salt fish, onions and oil (yum yum).
What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod?
I’m a huge Bob Marley fan but if I had to choose a favourite it would be, Stir it up – Bob Marley and The Wailers
What is one of your favourite quotes?
“Do your best” Nice and simple and can apply in any aspect of life.
How did you get started in the company?
I was out drinking with some friends when I was introduced to the Managing Director Les Owens, I’d recently been made redundant so when Les offered me a job I snatched his hand off.
Hobbies and Interests?
At the age of 17-18 I began to become very interested in Athletics and even tried out for the Olympics in the 400 meter event. When competing for my local club Thames Valley Harries (TVH) I trained with the Linford Christie and I was the civil service record holder for the UK. As I’ve gotten older I have always kept an interest in the sport as it is very close to my heart.
Favourite holiday destination?
I’ve been to many places around the world, America, St. Lucia, Jamaica, Antigua, France and Germany and it’s too hard to pick my favourite so my answer will have to be anywhere hot!
