Personally

Jason is married and lives in Solihull with his wife and two daughters. The family have recently completed the restoration of the Victorian terrace home they purchased a few years ago.

In fact, Jason loves to cook; his younger daughter is his toughest critic! When he does get time to himself, he likes to dive into literature, music and history.
