Meet the team

SHEENA

-

In between guzzling all the teas the world has to offer, Sheena also likes to cross-stitch and hopes to master roller-skates this summer. Watch this space...

IVAN

-

Ivan is married with two daughters and one grandson, alongside whom he enjoys fine dining and socialising with friends. When alone he likes to listen to music and read a suspense novel or crime thriller; a penchant for the dark side that perhaps also explains why he has for many years been a regular match-goer at Stamford Bridge.

JIM ASHLEY

-

Jim enjoys nothing more than the great outdoors. He has a slight obsession with challenging himself to new adventures, and has his sights set on getting to Everest Base camp (one day) along with summitting Kilimanjaro!  When not outward-bound, he has a passion for food (loves a bit of lobster and steak or curry, if you’re asking) and, of course, his family time.

KEVIN AUCHOYBUR

-

Kevin is a font of knowledge on all things tech, from cars to quantum computing and everything in between. Whether it’s nuclear fusion or new gearboxes for formula one, Kev’s your man. He likes to relax with an audiobook or watching sport on the TV, with a nice little nip of whisky or whiskey in hand.

CALLUM BRUNNING

-

Callum is a keen cricketer who can often be found searching in the rough for his missing golf ball. He is learning to play the guitar has also developed a new-found passion for baking. And as yet another RDA member with a head for heights, one of his lifetime ambitions is to climb Mount Everest.

NICOLA FAULKNER

-

Nicola likes to pass her downtime taking countryside walks with her small, pampered pooch. She’s a social animal herself, and loves spending time with friends, whether at home, in a restaurant or, preferably, dancing in some muddy field at the odd summer festival (or two.) (Or three.)

CAROLINE FIELDHOUSE

-

Caroline particularly enjoys organising, cleaning, reorganising and more cleaning. Like her fat cat, Dotty, she is addicted to food, and loves prepping it, cooking it, eating it, reading or watching about it.  She also loves road trips to Scotland (her heart is in the Highlands) and taking photographs of landscapes and nature.

BRADLEY FIELDHOUSE

-

Bradley is another of RDA’s sports nuts, with a particular passion for football, NFL and boxing. If there’s no sport to watch he will spend his time taking his chocolate Labrador for walks or cleaning and detailing his beloved car. (Wax on, wax off, Brad.)

PHIL GLEW

-

Phil Glew, once a race driver, now driver manager, spends most of his time at racetracks. His real loves are DIY, skiing, going to the horse races and his new-found sporting passion – golf.

MARTIN JOHNSON

-

If not watching sport (Essex cricket or West Ham United) Martin will be found watching comedy sitcoms, panel shows and stand up. If you asked his three grown-up kids what he is best known for, they will all say ‘dad jokes’. When Dad rolls out his jokes, they will be found rolling their eyes rather than rolling on the floor laughing.

MARK LANGLEY (AKA TWINKLE TOES)

-

Legend, creator, pioneer & influencer.

D in GCSE Spanish. Yellow belt in Karate. Ex ballerina

DEANNE NEL

-

Proud South African Deanne is mother to a beautiful daughter and enjoys being active – running and hockey are top of her list. She’ll get to tick off a bucket-list item if her inclusion in the ballot for the London Marathon leads to a place on the starting line. She loves socialising with friends, especially over a “braai” (a barbecue to you and me), where she’ll be sipping a good red wine or a tasty gin.

SEAN RAMNARINE

-

Usually found reading an essay to nowhere, where the rivers taste like wine, and you ask the dust for directions home.

EDDIE REYNOLDS

-

Eddie can usually be found at a racetrack looking after the next batch of budding Lewis Hamiltons. Otherwise he’ll be at ballet or horse riding lessons - for his two daughters. A keen golfer who spends most of the time in the rough, he’s a runner and a dab hand with a shot gun; shooting clays, not pigeons.

LEE RHODES

-

Married with one daughter, Lee is a sports fanatic who loves most sports, but he is particularly partial to a round of golf. Another of RDA’s natural adventurers, he likes to travel, meet people and take on new experiences.

DAVID STOCKER

-

David Stocker is a Chartered Certified Accountant and petrolhead, married with two grown up children. When not poring over finances, he can be found at a race circuit, especially Le Mans each year. He also enjoys live music whenever possible.
