Success.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

It has to be my husband.

He left school at 17 and came up to Belfast to be with me as my family didn’t approve of our romance.

He started studying while working for the Department of Agriculture as a laboratory assistant, got a first class degree in Biological Sciences, followed by a PhD and eventually became a world renowned Professor collaborating with colleagues in Canada and the USA to develop a vaccine to combat Global Swine Disease.

I think that’s what you would call successful.
