I have been fortunate enough to have had four careers in my short life including from 1991 to 2016 working as a management consultant specialising in engagement, performance management, leadership development and correlating leadership to KPI's. However in 2016 I allegedly retired, changed direction completely and moved out of London to the North of England. I am now Director and part owner of an Artisan coffee shop and bake house "HIVE" in Blackpool and a "buy to let" Property company. I am also involved a number of projects to assist in the regeneration of Blackpool where creative talent abounds.I started in agriculture and gained a degree in animal husbandry where I worked with the team who developed a vaccine for a rather nasty poultry disease. I then changed to finance where I passed my CIMA accountancy exams working for Bass Charrington. Not wanting to be a bean counter for the rest of my life I then worked in the demolition Industry where I learned a great deal about project management. I rather enjoyed it when we pressed the button and felled cooling towers.After that I returned to the drinks trade, eventually arriving by a circuitous route as HR manager of Blayney Wine Merchants where we employed 2,000 people in 300 small shops mainly in the North of England. There I also gained the Diploma in Wines and Spirits which has stood me in good stead when it comes to going out to dinner! On the way through I also studied with the to OU to become a chartered member of CIPD and whilst there gained the Diploma in Management. I started an MBA iin 2017 with the OU but have simply not had the time to complete it.In 1992 Blayney's was sold and I was redundant and having been redundant in 1972, 1982 and 1992 I decided I would make myself redundant by retiring in 2002 and I became self employed working as a management consultant and IIP Senior Specialist until Spring 2016. I have been lucky enough to fly the world and especially enjoyed working in South Africa and even visited the island of St Helena (twice).I am now 73 years old and know a lot of people who are waiting for God. Unfortunately he is going to have to wait for me :)
