Nik Hole

Nik’s family has been in Chiswick for nearly four decades, and he moved back to Gunnersbury 19 years ago shortly after his first child was born. He now lives with his wife, three teenagers, a grown-up nephew, his stepmother in her eighties and two dogs, giving him first-hand experience of the wide range of local interests and community services in the area. Ten years ago he helped grow the 118-118 business from his bedroom to becoming CEO of five European companies, and now works as a consultant, regularly using the Tube, buses and walking to meetings, which keeps him aware of the importance of strong public transport links and thriving local businesses.
