What’s your first Yorkshire memory? My family have been “mill people” since 1870 – our family business is still run by my twin brother John and my cousin - so our roots are in the west of the county. We had a very happy childhood, there were a lot of visits to my grandparents, who lived at Bramhope, and excursions to places like Newby Hall. Even then, I’d love doing things like polishing the silver, and one year I actually asked for a Miller’s Antiques Guide for Christmas.

What do you think gives Yorkshire its unique identity? Just a few weeks back, I had to drive over to Settle for a business meeting, and I made absolutely sure that I factored in extra time, so that I could break the journey every now and then, just to be able to “stand and stare”, to drink in the scenery, and to appreciate it. You have tradition, you have history, you have people, you have landscape, all so different, but equally all part of a harmonious whole.
