Always reliable and accurate, with a good turnaround speed.
Paul Bunting, Partner, Aspinall Wright Solicitors
I was born in Rochdale and soon moved to Rossendale where I misspent my childhood and youth until leaving for Scotland to serve as a missionary. I returned two years later, married soon thereafter and studied law. Having been called to the Bar, no one would offer me a pupillage so I practised as a court advocate for a couple of years before falling into the world of legal costs. My wife Sarah and I have two children, Darcy and Oliver, and one goldfish.
Out of desperation. I really needed a job and was directed to an advertisement at the Job Centre for a Trainee Law Costs Draftsman. My supervisor insisted that I apply, which I did.
Regional Manager, Manchester office.
The advocacy aspect.
The people situated on the floor directly below my office persist in playing really loud music despite my protestations. I wouldn’t mind if it was nice music – but it’s not. It’s that mind-numbing drum and bass rubbish.
Helping to make the Manchester office the happy and profitable place it now is.

Branded an absolute geek by family and friends alike, I designed, created and now run VINTAGE PLAYTIME LIMITED (www.vintage-playtime.com) – the UK’s largest (I think) online store for vintage games. In fact, Alan Titchmarsh invited me onto his show in 2013 where I accidently lied to the paying British public about the origins of Scrabble. I love to play the piano and try to exercise when time permits. Sarah and I are kept busy by our two little ones, but we usually don’t mind that.
Nighttime custodian at Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
I don’t have a television licence – so no.

With two young children I can no longer remember what one of those is.
No.
