More about Joseph

I originally studied Politics and Mandarin Chinese at Lancaster University and spent two months in China working for an NGO. I love speaking Mandarin and have travelled across Asia. I enjoy cooking and love to work with oriental flavours.

Outside of work, I am a avid runner and have completed bike rides for charity. I’m a big fan of music and am learning Keyboard in my spare time. I am also an avid fan of film and am a proud patron of Tyneside Cinema.

I also love travelling within the UK and abroad. I love to spend a weekend in the Lake District with my Partner.
