What was the LAST: 
Film you watched? Blade Runner 2049. I’m a massive Harrison Ford fan.

Music you bought or downloaded? Best Running Songs Of All Time. I have run more than 60 half marathons and six full marathons.
Concert or play you went to? Glastonbury this year. A real passion of mine.
Sporting event you attended? Bath Rugby, obvs!
Holiday you went on? Javea in Spain with Lynsay and the kids. We have been going for over 15 years.

Piece of good advice you were given? “It’s not you – it’s them. Do what you believe in!”
Born and bred in Dyrham village, just outside the city, Les Redwood attended King Edwards School, then went to Bournemouth University, moving to British Airways in London shortly after graduating. Having met wife Lynsay, they returned to the city to set up a property company and an accommodation business and to have two children. Shortly after this Les became chairman of The Guest Houses Association, which led to him becoming a founding director of the Bath BID in 2011. He then became the project manager of the Bath BID, directly delivering many of its projects to improve trading conditions in and around the city over the BID’s first five years. Shortly after the Bath BID was re-elected in 2015, Les switched to Visit Bath to become head of business development and partnerships for the city’s exemplar destination marketing organisation.
