Kath says: "I was born in Rochdale Lancashire England, living on a fire station were Dad was a Fire Officer. Although it may seem strange to some the Fire Station was a great playground, we climbed the 100 foot tower, crawled through the underground passages (used for breathing apparatus training) all of which we were of course banned from entering. On leaving school I first trained as a hairdresser, then became a nurse. Eventually I married Ian, had a daughter Amanda and settled down in suburbia, that is until one day reading the newspaper I spotted Ian’s job description in a recruitment advert. Ian at the time was looking to move, he applied and got the position which meant moving to Hong Kong where we stayed until the 1997 Handover to China. Living in Hong Kong was a fantastic experience totally different to suburbia in England, the pace was fast both living and working.
