“I’m particularly interested in wine, grapes, olives, olive oil, that’s where my main interests lie.”

“I’m particularly interested in wine, grapes, olives, olive oil, that’s where my main interests lie.”

Business-minded Gavin from Yorkshire is a serial entrepreneur and property developer, who has found success with many different career paths. However, he feels he has reached a time in his life to embark on a fresh challenge.

Having worked as a used-car salesman, managed pubs and a nightclub, run a B’n’B, and even trained as a chef, Gavin is still very active and has no plans to slow down. He is itching to start his next business and is confident that he will easily spot the gap in the local market for making money.

After losing his mother and several friends in recent years, and as a single divorcee with no children, Gavin realised he was becoming lonely in the UK and feels now is the time to take stock of his life and aim in a new direction. He lives with his dog Ted, a German spitz who is like his baby and already has a pet passport, so Gavin hopes to be sharing some of his Tuscan adventure with Ted alongside the other group members.
