Tim O’Shea – Angel Investor
My long time matey wor Timmy as we call him, as he was born in Newcastle, but now drives a tractor in Norfolk. He spent his early life at a posh Uni and managed to stay in, then advanced his life to doing odd things in very odd countries…sounds like special forces…not far off. Ask him if you dare:):)
Nowadays can be seen spending most of his time doing silly things on mountains in the Alps…see that special forces training came in handy.
Some of this stuff is actually true and some if is not.
