Time Out: Rick Dunkley, partner, Saffery

It’s Friday, and the weekend is just around the corner. That means it is time to kick up your feet and relax with some quick fire questions. This ‘Time Out’ features Rick Dunkley, a partner specialising in corporate audits at Saffery in Leeds, who in another life might have owned a coffee shop!

What is the first thing you do to get the weekend started?

More often than not, I open a chilled bottle of wine!

What is your hobby?

Quite a stereotype, but it’s still football, intermixed with some golf and running.

What is your favourite movie?

Gladiator.

If you hadn’t been successful at what you do, what would you be doing instead as a career?

I really like the idea of having my own coffee shop or a mobile unit that I could take to independent artisan markets or festivals and shows.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Self-duplication!

What is your secret talent?

Honestly, I’m afraid I don’t have one, sorry!

What is your favourite genre of music or band?

Oasis, so probably Britpop and before you ask, I didn’t get tickets!

If you could travel to any moment in time, where would you go?

Back to my wedding day, surrounded by family and friends on the best day of my life.
