I left high school after Form 3 and being technically minded, worked for Ford, V.W and Peugeot in Nairobi and Mombasa for 5 years.

I studied for a further 3 years at Kenya Polytechnic and passed my City and Guilds motor mechanic and technician course. I married in 1967 then moved to and worked in Zambia. There I worked for Mercedes and Toyota in Lusaka for 4 years. Eventually I moved to Ndola where I started my own motor trade business until 1983. I was a member of the Ndola Cricket Club and was selected as the Chairman of the club for 2 years.

I moved to London in 1983 to further the education of my children. I set up my own motor trade business for 5 years. I am now retired.
