From tinkering with cars, to enjoying the Suffolk countryside on his bike, we get to know David Everett from Beyond Telecoms
What gets you out of bed of a morning?
That's a tricky one as I like my bed too much, especially on these dark mornings as we go into autumn and winter. However, if I've got a visit booked to a client to help them out with some important issue, that is a big motivator.
I guess it would be to treat others as you'd like to be treated, and try to see the other person's point of view.....I know, that's 2 pieces of advice but heyho! :)
I was elected as a county councillor at the age of 26 after being persuaded to stand as a paper candidate 'without a hope in hell's chance of getting in'. That was a shock I can tell you!
I have lots of interests but one thing I do get great satisfaction from is working on my vehicles - I have 2 SAABs and an Opel, plus a van which is my daily driver at present. I'll have a go at most things from mechanical stuff to welding. It's the ultimate antidote to my day job, doing something practical where I can get my hands dirty, and definitely tests my problem solving and technical skills on occasions. Music is a big thing for me and I always have to have my tunes going when in the workshop.
Aside from that, I've been getting back into cycling recently to build up my health and fitness again. It's a great way to switch off and Suffolk is a lovely part of the world in which to enjoy riding. Plus bikes are easier to fix than cars!
It's difficult to pick one particular spot as we are very blessed to live in this area. Kersey where I live is lovely, dominated by St Mary's Church at the top of the hill, with the splash and old Flemish weavers cottages. But there are so many others, lots of which I've experienced when out on my bike.
