Tim, originally from the South of England, Tim moved to Shropshire 17 years ago to run a farm.
Bridge is a relatively new hobby; he took it up 7 years ago, and finds it as hard now as he did then. He hopes that pulling on an England shirt for the first time will change this, but that seems doubtful.

My parents taught me to play bridge and soon I was hooked. I played many all-night rubber bridge sessions while studying Physics at Oxford University. These turned out to be excellent practice for the all-nighters I later pulled in my career as a management consultant. While bringing up my two sons I retrained as a psychotherapist and worked at St Thomas’s Hospital for several years. Just before covid I found my way to Andrew Robson and my bridge passion was re-ignited.
