Personally
Dom is married to Jane and they have three children: Alex who lives in Tasmania, Scarlett an Interior Designer who lives in Derby and who created the design for our office, and Joel who currently lives at home with them.
Dom rides a bike (a lot – around 350km a week) and likes nothing better than riding up big mountains in France. When he’s not riding, he’s usually eating or sleeping! He and Jane usually visit Australia every January to see Alex, and they’ve had some fantastic adventures.
Dom comes highly rated on VouchedFor, and has been awarded their Certificate of Excellence.
