I am an ex British Army Engineer, latterly an engineering manager at Rolls-Royce, I was trained to solve problems. I now live on the island of Sark in the Channel Islands with my wife and children and another 500+ people. I am the 23rd Seigneur, a hereditary position which has been passed through my family since 1852. My inspiration for DEAL comes from watching Sir John Harvey-Jones advise Morgan Cars back in 2008. Their reaction to his advice resonated with me as I had long believed constant growth was illogical and doomed to self-destruction. I parked the notion in the back of my mind at the time but there are clear parallels for me now here on Sark. Traditional growth cannot happen here, we have finite space which can only support a limited number of things.
