Inspired by his work at Ipswich Round Table, Mr Hart joined Ipswich decluttering charity Lofty Heights in 2019 and subsequently joined Genesis as its CEO this month. He will split his time between both charities. My wife classes it as a midlife crisis but I don t, he said. I needed a new challenge in life and I sold my business.
