Richard describes himself as an adventurous person who loves his family and food, with a penchant for Pici Toscani. Like Kerry, Richard is also a cat lover (well, he claims tolerator but weve used poetic licence) but says that feline diva Tilly, doesnt listen to anyone!
We also asked Richard some key questions and heres what he told us.
Q. Who is the most inspirational person to you?
A. My grandad. He inspired me to have no fear and try new things. He loved to cook and always had something new for us to try form his travels this has definitely inspired me to be the same way with my family.

New Trojan: Debbie Craven!
Debbie has also joined the finance team as our Assistant Financial Accountant. Debbie was born in the Leeds area and has lived here all her life, you could say shes a true Yorkshire home-bird! Debbie describes herself as polite, caring, loyal and also
a runner! Yes, we are proud to say that Debbie is now entering her first ever 10-mile race and we are super excited for her! Whilst time commitments have restricted Debbie and her family from having any pets, Debbie says she would love a horse (note, her husband is not quite as keen!) and her daughter would quite like a cat. It looks like these feline creatures are winning the heart of our Yorkshire Trojans!
Debbie was asked some similar questions and remarkably gave some pretty similar answers!
Q. What is your favourite food?
A. I love food and will try just about anything, but I think it would have to be a curry!.
Q. Who is the most inspirational person to you?
A. My dad. Although he sadly passed away 15 years ago, he was always someone who gave good advice and never judged. Definitely one of the most selfless people I have ever known.
Q. Whats your favourite thing about Yorkshire?
A. The people! We seem to be a good, honest bunch.
There you have it! Our newest Trojan recruits who are such interesting and unique people, yet all have similar views and share our own family values! We cannot wait to see where their Troy journey takes them and well be here to support them every step of the way.
