When not filming or editing, he loves watching sport, mostly football and golf and going walks with his two dogs, Sam & Paddy Derek was for many years a keen "munro bagger" but doesn't get the opportunity to do as many hill walks now due to the business keeping him busy. Another passion is travelling and has visited so many wonderful cities and countries over the last 10 years.
