My story...
As the creator of this Community Interest Company, I wanted to share my story with you: – After a far from illustrious educational career at two very different types of schools, I followed in my father’s footsteps and joined the British Army as soon as I was able.
Soon afterwards my father and brother initiated me into a Masonic organisation called the Buffs, in a military base in Antwerpen, Belgium. Its full name is the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes, and the Lodge was called Bodega. I was immediately embroiled in the good works they do with the local orphanage and in helping people in the community.
Fast forward 40 years and the influence of a book called North Star Thinking, by William Polston. In this book it asked the reader to really think of an ultimate ambition or goal. As soon as I read the book, I understood I already had my North Star! Before sharing this, it must be noted that the goal should be almost impossible to achieve, but on the right trajectory.
Ok, so I really want to be an Angel, and I have a vision of meeting St Peter and the pearly gates and after he welcomes me in to heaven, we start talking and he asks me what job I would like to do, of course I tell him I would like to be an Angel and he replies, “what makes you think you can be an Angel?” To which I ask him if he has not been watching my term on Earth!

“For me it’s about being the person you want to become”
On the 28th February 2025 a massive change in my business renting Vans to Amazon delivery drivers caused me to re-think this strategy and has led me to just focus all my energy in to helping others, for there are always people in a worse situation.
