Joe Reynolds

I’m Joe. I run operations, compliance and technology for an investment firm. It's work that’s mostly about execution and delivery; good judgment, remaining calm under load, and getting complicated things to behave.

Outside of the office - I like getting my hands dirty (literally and metaphorically); crafting - paint, sewing, wood, coding, a loom - things that reward patience and discourage shortcuts. I enjoy shooting film on analogue cameras, sometimes returning to digital photography when I’m honest about deadlines. I need to read more.

Stating the obvious, art (of all forms) inspires me. I have a quiet weakness for Japanese craft - ceramics, selvedge denim, camping kit (Hi, Snow Peak!) - and have had more Mk1 Mazda MX-5s than strictly necessary. I train. I've entered a powerlifting competition. I do Hyrox, which I’m told is fun.

Most weekends you’ll find me cooking over a fire somewhere with my wife, our two daughters, and a small, very-opinionated Brussels Griffon.
