George Rose (81)

George is English. He is the Managing Director of 'Hand in Glove'. He's a very traditional man who set up 'Hand in Glove' in the 1940's. His parents were the owners of a travelling circus which went bankrupt just before the Second World War. George became fascinated by animals during his childhood in the circus. He met some Hungarian gypsies during the war who put on shows with hand-made glove puppets. One of them, Magaly, became his wife. George is a lovely man who really values personal relationships. He enjoys meeting different types of people. He loves to talk about the past, but he is also a man who embraces change, and is full of energy and optimism for the future.
