MY DOWN TIME WITH ... Steven Sykes

Steven Sykes is director of operations at Continental Baking Company (National Baking).

• What is the title of the last book you read and what was it about?

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. It's about a prominent person who is killed and his hand removed. On his hand is a tattoo that has significant meaning and it opens up the plot.

• What CD are you listening to now?

A compilation of Michael Bublé and Lady Gaga.

• Where was the last interesting place you visited and why did you find it so?

Italy was the last place I vacationed. It was interesting because of the history it has. It was the centre of one of the most striking civilisations and its architecture speaks to this.
