Francis
Stewart

Work

Some people pack a lot into life. Francis has been a time-served joiner, a driver with the Royal Air Force all over the world, an HGV driver and a Customs Officer on teams involved in major 'drug busts'! All of this is due to Francis's attitude which is simply to 'have a go at things'.
