Mark Pawson, Director - Aqua Planned Maintenance

When did you join the organisation and in what position?

I first joined Aqua in 1990 as an Intermediate Design Engineer.

  

What is your best quality?

Chronic modesty!

 

What is your most annoying habit?

My staff must have an inordinate amount of patience, as I always want things done ‘my way’

 

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

What goes around comes around

 

What did you want to be when you grew up?

It’s difficult to remember that far back! It was probably something obscure like a UFO Investigator!

 

What is your favourite place, and why?

Pokhara in Nepal. You can hire a rowing boat and float out onto the stunning lake with the Annapurna and Machhapuchhare Himalayan backdrop.

 

What is the last CD you bought?

What’s a CD? I still use Vinyl!

 

What four famous people (dead or alive) would you like to invite to a dinner party, and

why?

The party would have to be a laugh, so I’d invite my favourite comedians:

Eric Morecambe

Billy Connelly

Robin Williams

Tony Blair

 

At the end of the day how do you switch off from work?

I’m currently renovating a Grade II Listed House. Can’t say it’s exactly relaxing, but it certainly takes your mind off work!
