Kunle Barker is our Non-Executive Director at Studio Anyo. He was born in London but grew up in a small Bedfordshire village called Toddington. Funnily enough, the same village that Kevin McCloud grew up in. They only both realised this quite recently, Kevin used to work in one of the village pubs where Kunle had his first ‘legal’ drink.

Kunle Barker is very well-travelled, but of all the places he’d been to, Spain will always have a special place in his heart for all the right reasons – the climate, diverse landscape, the people ‘la Gente’ and their lust for life; and of course the food!

Kunle particularly loves Granada: “It’s such an amazing city – the architecture is just incredible, and vistas are looking over the old town that you know have not changed for 400 years. The streets, the food, the music, the people are like nowhere else in the world. And of course, they have the Alhambra Palace!”
