LV= Broker's commercial director Mike Crane

Sky diver...

I turned 40 last year and my wife decided to ‘surprise me’ by arranging to have me thrown out of a plane – albeit with a parachute. She did however check the life insurance was all up to date before hand which concerned me a little.

X Factor...

At previous office parties have been known to perform as Frida from Abba, Sandy from Grease, and a Teletubby (the green one) although sadly Simon Cowell never came knocking.

The dream...

Snorkelling in the Indian ocean from a Maldivian island – and in reality…time spent on campsites in Devon with 2 children!

Strange but true...

I was encouraged to consider a career in insurance by my Vicar who was ACII qualified…?

Go west...

Born in Bristol, and grew up in a village with 13 pubs – it was hard to leave!
