Outside of work most of Gurpreet’s time is occupied by his two sons – who keep him very busy! He also enjoys spending time with his wife, family and friends, and enjoys going to the gym and on holidays. Gurpreet is a keen sports fan, football and boxing in particular, and is a big supporter of Liverpool FC. He has undertaken a number of charity events, one of the most successful being his challenge to visit ’20 Premier league Stadiums in 24 Hours’ for Cancer Research, which he undertook with a few close friends, raising over £25,000.
