William Farrington (D, 1981-1986)
Recently made contact with the office to
relate a chance meeting with an OSE: “I’ve
met an OSE here by chance on a ski-lift –
Hugh Griffin (D, 1975-1980) – we were
in the same House but he left just before
I arrived. We went through all the familiar
places and names – the other two skiers
couldn’t get off the lift quick enough at
the top!”
Ben Broadhurst (C, 1983-1986) writes:
“My job role has changed to that of Sales
Director of Concorde, an IT and Office

1999
Marcus Calvani (C, 1994-1999) writes:
“After graduating from Cornell University’s
School of Hospitality Management in 2003
with a concentration on hospitality concept
design and development, I worked for a
design firm based in Providence, Rhode
Island for a number of years, travelling
all over the USA and Caribbean. After
various relocations, I found myself based in
Orlando, Florida for five years, where I met
my wife Ana. In 2010 we relocated back to
my home in Jersey. Since returning, I have
designed and built us a home, and we had
our son Leo in 2012 and most recently our
daughter Liliana on 23rd June 2014. Upon
returning, I took over the family restaurant
business, La Cantina, started an Italian wine
importing firm, worked with local farmers
to start rearing Jersey cows for beef and
rose-veal and have been blessed to gain
some great media exposure on local radio,
magazines and international television on a
few occasions, recently with ITV’s Hungry
