Eventually I passed my A-levels to get me to University, (I had continued with some sport), but focused more on my studies earning a Degree, and even a place at London School of Economics (LSE) for a Masters degree.  As I could not afford the fees nor the time to study and work at the same time;  I dropped out of LSE, to work full-time for various corporations holding various roles. With over 25 years experience of improving processes to work more efficiently, and implementing Change in large organisations.

During that journey, from starting as a newspaper boy, helping my parents in their business, a student, a taxi driver, factory worker, self-employed, corporate worker within the UK and Abroad.  I always wanted to help whoever I could, my Family, Friends, Community, this City of Derby.

As a local resident, I have invested in my community by bringing rundown houses to good use for Families.  I even started a small local  business in the City Centre (Caffe Grazia), until recently, employing almost 300 people in its time.

I now have my own family, where I want them to grow up in a Healthy Clean environment, with Hope, Good Education, Opportunities and a Bright Future for all our kids.
