In the few moments that he allows to himself, Justin will be found on the squash court or simply walking his Working Cocker.

Margaret is the very first person you will meet when you visit the Fin offices. Her role is absolutely indefinable, but completely indispensible. One of a kind, she is variously described as office manager, ‘star-player’ and front-of-house. Interestingly, Margaret once lived a completely different life as a 3D designer. After graduating from St Martins, long before CAD existed, she worked in the design and production of interiors and events of every kind. If you need to know anything at all about Fin, you should start with Margaret. When not running the Fin nerve-centre, you will find Margaret restoring classic jukeboxes and running her own antiques business, naturally.
