Leadership Team
Leadership Team

Daniel Layne

Founder & CEO

Daniel lives in Bedford, and in his spare time enjoys spending time with his wife Zara, three daughters Megan, Maia and Arlo/Dave (depending on the day) and thirteen year old cat Sinclair. Daniel was once stopped in the street, photographed and featured in Just Seventeen magazine, in an article we have, as of yet, been unable to find. He claims this happened based on the strength of his shoes, a feature he carries into today as he is often found wearing his Batman converse.
