Personal profile

Having trained in London Mr Armitage was keen to escape to the South Coast and initially lived in Brighton for five years before moving to Eastbourne where he has been for the last eight years. He enjoys spending as much time as he can with his young family hoping to bring a bit of balance to an otherwise busy orthopaedic career.

In his 20s Mr Armitage carried out a large amount of sport. However, recently he has just taken up tennis with a view to getting fitter and to ensure he can continue beating his two boys!

Mr Armitage has a 40 year-old classic car (Alfa Romeo 1600 Stepnose GTV) which he enjoys tinkering with and taking on Goodwood track days etc.
