Beyond the Desk

Outside of Biscoes, you may see Richard riding one of his Lambrettas around Portsmouth, walking Ozzy, his mad Labradoodle from the Dog’s Trust along the seafront, or playing some classic reggae tunes on his sound system or restoring his 1974 VW Karmann Beetle cabriolet, but given his last restoration took twenty years, we’re hoping to see it in the Biscoes car park a long time before then!
