A Little About Us

We met back in 2004 as employees of a Real Estate company in London’s East end, although working together briefly we struck up a lasting friendship. We’ve maintained contact ever since and particularly over the last few years, the meet ups over coffee and croissants became evermore regular and lengthy, as neither of us struggle for conversation.
Separated by twenty years, our individual perspective is often vastly different, but where we have diverging opinions, we’re able to disagree, but maintain the intrinsic respect we’ve always had for each other. We’ve wanted to work together again for some considerable time and ‘The Randal Report’ is the culmination; bringing together the spiritual, intellectual and entrepreneurial abilities that define Mel’s character, my creative experience and ability for endless chatter, as I once described myself as being like a vintage wine, easy on the nose, palatable, but if consumed in excess, liable to give you a thumping headache!
