Alex arrived in the UK from New Zealand in 2001, for a working adventure with his wife, Tracy. They planned to return to NZ after 4 years or so but are still here and loving it. Alex comes from a farming background in NZ and started his UK adventure running a group of practices in London. When these practices were acquired by a bigger group, Alex set up and headed their Practice Integration Team and spent the next few years bringing newly acquired sites onboard. A career change saw Alex and Tracy moving to Hampshire in 2021 to take up his current role of Practice Director. Heading such a skilled and diverse team is a real joy with no day being the same.

In his spare time, Alex loves exploring Hampshire with Tracy and their rescue dog, Parker (short for Nosy Parker).
