THE LAST WORD

KEVIN CONNOR

Audit partner at Bishop Fleming

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG?

A footballer – I’ve played for lots of teams and I used to enjoy organising our office team but I finally got fed up of all the young trainees running past me.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST FULL TIME JOB?

Trainee accountant (for Bishop Fleming!).

WHAT’S IN YOUR POCKETS?

No cash since the pandemic but to be honest there never was much cash in there anyway.

HOW DO YOU LIKE TO RELAX?

I love to run and am trying to get myself back into it. In 2019 I managed to do ten half marathons in ten months. I’m not sure I could manage ten minutes at the moment!

WHAT IS THE GREATEST INVENTION EVER?

The iPhone (other brands are available) –I’m completely reliant on it, I’m embarrassed to admit.

WHAT TO YOU BEGRUDGE SPENDING MONEY ON?

Cars and fuel – it just seems such a waste.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FILM?

Top Gun, can’t wait for the new one to come out.

WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT CORNWALL?

I’ve only been here for six months but I already know it’s not the weather. I love living so close to the coast.

IF YOU COULD INVITE ANY TWO PEOPLE FOR DINNER, WHO WOULD THEY BE AND WHY WOULD YOU INVITE THEM?

Ricky Gervais – because he’s hilarious. David Attenborough – he’s just a legend, love watching his shows.

IF YOU COULD BE GOD FOR A DAY, WHAT MIRACLE WOULD YOU PERFORM?

I’d sort out climate change – someone needs to and fast!

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS’ TIME?

Lots of travelling, taking the local Bishop Fleming offering and team to the next level, able to run a marathon.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN THREE ADJECTIVES?

Honest. Determined. Friendly.
