I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately and one of the things that I’ve been thinking about is how I actually became a property developer and Investor.... Do you ever think about where your career journey began? I’m the first to admit I always knew I would be having some involvement in property in one way or another having seen the benefits of it growing up as my dad did the same. When I was in school I was always convinced I was going to have a high flying career in Law (having watched Ally McBeal when I was younger - can anyone else remember that show?). I went onto law school, college of law and about to head into a Law career but something just didn’t feel right… I just couldn’t see myself doing Law anymore… So I had a career change into a commercial role as a Global Commodity Manager with Rolls-Royce - a global role which I absolutely loved and taught me so much - both personally and professionally. All during my 10 year career at Rolls-Royce I still grew my property portfolio and business as I always knew the importance of having assets and doing strong investments (both hands on and hands off investments) But deep down my passion for property, investments and helping others achieve the same took over and I decided to follow my passion and do it full time. The best decision I have ever made…I know its cheesy when you hear people say that when you find something you love doing it never feels like work. But I honestly believe in that statement so much. So if you’d asked me years ago if I thought I could ever be doing multi million pound developments and investments working with wealth managers to assist their clients, other property developers and every day investors I would have said no. But life is full of surprises and I’m so glad this is where it led me! ❓How did you start out?

6moI remember ally .. my Journey Started in 1982 a garden party for my Next-door neighbours son a hero in my eyes 19 year old Para Returning from the Falklands.. the road was covered in Buntin, Tony placed His coveted Maroon Berry on my head and asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was 7 At the age of 16 I was into the Royal regiment of artillery junior leaders and then onto 7 RHA after a year's training . From 7 RHA to 5 heavy regiment RA. Educated in the Troubles in Northern Ireland by the Armed forces going deep into the history during orientation for service I chose not to fight against my Christian brothers .. Being out spoken like I am I eventually got Hoofed for Telling my Commanding officer and RSM to F off. My Anger led to my incarceration and on leaving HMP Leeds at 22 my father got a grip of me showed me the money involved in power generation that was motivation to turn my life away from crime. Earning an honest wage felt amazing and with my work ethic I rose the ranks from handy man to craftsman following again in my forefathers footsteps. Great grandfather's were both military my grandfather joined the navy at 14 lied about his date of birth to go to war. 3 of my forefathers were Erector Riggers like myself.
