Bet you didn't know this about Max

In the final blog in our staff interview series, we get the low down on Max Earnshaw, SnowGate founder, owner and valuer. Although he loves toast, one of his most embarrassing moments was trying to eat the Melba variety with a knife and fork at the Palace of Westminster. Toast aside, he’d love a period Spanish farmhouse in a remote picturesque location where he could make his signature dish, Thai Green curry. Find out the rest about Max here.
