My family

As with most people, the few individuals closest to my heart are my family, and I would like to mention them here.

Dad

Douglas Craig-Wood

My Father, Douglas Craig-Wood (Dougal to his friends), died suddenly and without warning in the Summer of 2002 which was a huge shock to us all. His keen business acumen and love of science & technology were the source for my own passions for the subjects, and his constant creativity and innovation inspired me from a young age. His unending curiosity about the workings of the physical, natural and social world around him made him the best teacher anyone could have ever hoped for.

Mum

Valerie Craig-Wood

My Mother, Val Craig-Wood, is as you would expect one of the most important people in my life, and I'm fortunate that we live close and get to see one another often. In something of a counter-point to my Dad's technical and scientific focus, Mum has always been the spiritualist of the family, and is also a trained counsellor. Without her passion for education, emotional-intelligence and gentle guidance in people skills, I doubt that I would be as (hopefully) well-rounded and happy as I am today.

Fliss

Fliss Craig-Wood

My little sister, Felicity Craig-Wood aka. Fliss, lives with her husband Grant and has two wonderful little boys, Mathew (in piccy) and Johnathan, who are totally adorable half the time and quite evil the other half! We are unusually close in age (1 year and 1 day) and have always been close. We have been through happy and sad times together and will always be there for one-another. She lives fairly close by in Church Crookham and we see each other often.

Nick

Nick Craig-Wood

My brother & business partner, Nick Craig-Wood, also lives in the Guildford area with his wife Loveday and has four great kids, Amy, Ed, Isabelle and baby Dougie. When he is not busy with his kids or Memset work, he also has another company, Alphawave Ltd. which specialises in satellite control and monitoring software. In counter-point to my own more general entrepreneurial skills, it is his huge technical expertise that is the true intellectual powerhouse of Memset. He is most certainly the best business partner I could hope for!
