Born in Uruguay, of Welsh parents (this could explain his occasional schizophrenic behaviour).  His rendition of Cwm Rhonda  whilst dressed in full Gaucho attire brings tears to the eyes. Trust us.

Deported at an early age to the UK by the Uruguayan government on a trumped-up charge of “wrecking the national economy”, Eric maintains that he only damaged it a bit.

Eric (affectionately known by us all here as the Patagonian P**lock) founded the UK operation in 1988 with the remit to establish the product range in the UK and has seen the company grow to a multi-million pound operation since then.

Eric's well-known patience, tolerance and humour ensure that the working environment in the company is both happy and relaxed, he says. (Yeah. And Hannibal Lecter was a vegetarian…)

Mother believed to be in exile in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Some here wish he would join her. Permanently.
