Three things you didn’t know about…
Jones Lang LaSalle UK CEO Guy Grainger
1 He’s been commuting to work on a Vespa for about 12 years and absolutely loves it. He admits he’s got a more grown-up, modern, black one now but used to ride a 1968 flame orange Vespa, with an open-face helmet.
2 He once appeared on The Apprentice in a panel of experts when the contestants had to present an idea for a flagship retail store. A self-confessed “slave to celebrity” he says he’d definitely do it again.
3 He loves a music festival and the odd gig – saying he originally moved to London because of the music scene. He and his family go to Latitude most years and he is heading to Koko in Camden for his next gig (to see Augustines). He always wears a hat though – “if people saw my grey hair they’d think ‘what is that old git doing here?’”
