Richard Tanner of Farrar & Tanner

• Favourite British brand? Barbour. It’s iconic and classic with its designs, perfectly capturing quintessential British fashion.

• Hero? Sir Robin Knox Johnston. First to sail single handedly around the world, then enabled thousands of others to do so through Clipper Ventures.

• Weekend? I always love to spend my weekends in the Cotswolds, full of scenic little villages like Broadway, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Stow-on-the-Wold. They’re perfect for walking around, visiting eateries, and boutique shopping.

• Meal? I don’t think you can beat traditional fish ’n’ chips – preferably at the seaside with lots of salt and vinegar.

• Shop? I’ve always admired John Lewis for traditionally being rooted in quality customer service and products.

• Undiscovered gem? I’m not sure how undiscovered it is but walks in the South Downs never disappoint. I’m particularly fond of the meandering Cuckmere Valley. A walk along the river offers views of the Seven Sisters and is steeped in history.

• Idiosyncrasy? If all else fails, you can always converse with someone about the unpredictable British weather. It’s something we all love to do, moan about the rain!

• Band? In my eyes, the Beatles will always be number one. They changed the music scene forever and continue to influence music today.

• Car? My dream car is the AC Ace, a beautiful and understated timeless design.

• Book? Robinson Crusoe is a classic adventure tale, and always has a place in my heart having spent a decade in the Caribbean.
