K G Maw

Ken Maw hails from Shrewsbury in the UK where in this small corner of the country, his name lives on – Maw and Co. was once the largest tile factory in the world located close to the famed Ironbridge and now preserved as a craft center and residential structure. He was educated at Oundle boarding school in Northamptonshire where he enjoyed studying sciences, forbidden pub-crawling and trying not to destroy too much historic school property until leaving with A-Level Certificates. He then joined Spillers Foods as a laboratory assistant in their Cambridge research centre whilst moon-lighting as a bartender in a fine old tavern and as coach for a University women’s rowing team. He then took on a new role in the company within their Contracts Dept in London and later moved to Cardiff starting a new career in Insurance Broking. Shortly thereafter, he was recruited by HSBC for a position in Dubai. Ken jumped at the chance to explore the world further and pursue a career that eventually lead him to start up a new insurance brokerage venture and partner with the Government of Dubai. What started as a little idea 20 years ago, bloomed into a passion and Ken sold the business, took on an advisory role and started putting his KV66 stories on to the electronic page. His ties to Egypt stem from his extensive travels to the country with his beautiful wife who comes from a prominent Egyptian family. Together they have 3 grown-up girls, a unique array of pets and spend their time between Dubai, the UK and Egypt.
