This may surprise a few people, but I actually love the Capri range by Milano. It’s a really simple and clean designer radiator style – I’m curvy enough, so the flat panel rads are probably my favourites.

When I took the radiator personality test, I got bright orange. I think it’s a good match for me too, as I think I’m bright, a bit in your face, and find that people stare at me quite a lot…

I enjoy helping people. So knowing that my research and advice has led to people thinking differently about their radiators is a source of great pride for me.
