Tell us about the holiday destinations you own
I’m really fortunate to own a number of great places that I love visiting but all of the destinations we own work as a business, even Necker. It has a staff of 60 and has to work as a viable business.

In South Africa we’ve got the Ulusaba game reserve. We’ve also built a lovely place in the Moroccan mountains called the Kasbah where I try to spend a bit of time as it’s so peaceful and then there’s the a ski lodge in Verbier which is great fun.
