The firm’s chief executive James Saunders tells Dave Rogers what’s been going on at the site with the famous name and what’s next

“When I joined here, I had three children. I’ve now got five.” As a former brand director at Coca-Cola, James Saunders, for the past three years chief executive of Wembley Park developer Quintain, smiles when it’s put to him the strapline for the firm could be: ‘Work at Quintain and have more kids’.
