My name is Derek Stirling and I'm Scottish. I live in Hadlow, a lovely village near London, and I work for the Swire group, Britain's largest private company. The Group's activities are divided into five business areas: shipping, aviation, property, industries and trading. Our best-known company is Cathay Pacific Airways.

I work at the London head office, I'm head of Corporate Finance, and I'm responsible for developing the business of the Group.

I'm always very busy and I don't have much free time, but when I do, I like fishing and I grow my own vegetables.
