Social Responsibility

A wholefood organic vegetarian for more than thirty years, interests include healing, counselling, photography, local history, and playing badminton.

In 1980, I created Marketing Yourself, a blend of business and self-development philosophy, on holistic principles. I own the company, Marketing Yourself Ltd, also marketingyourself.co.uk/.uk.

Other spare-time ventures have included Weekend Friends - a not-for-profit singles club that I co-organised for 3 years: reckoned to be one of the best in London, at peak WF had 120 members and through WF several people paired up - and Healthy Living Ltd trading as The Healthy Living Centre at which for about 5 years I co-organised workshops facilitated by leading lights of the mind-body-spirit movement.

I
n Ledbury, I have served on the committees of Friends of Dymock Poets (Membership Secretary, 1993-1994), Ledbury Badminton Club (Secretary 1994-2006, 2017-2019 ). In 1995, I chaired the Ledbury Carnival committee and introduced a blueprint that successive organisers of Ledbury Carnival have used since. From 2009 to 2011, I was Chairman and Director of Ledbury and District Society Trust Ltd, a registered charity and civic society, with more than 440 members and owning two heritage buildings. I am founder of Ledbury History Society and in 2012 I was invited to author "Ledbury through Time" one of a national series of photographic local history books published by Amberley Publishing and available from all good bookshops, Amazon or direct from Amberley Publishing.

I am a Life Member of the National Trust and a Life Member of the Institute of Directors.

For the commercial property market, I contribute to professional wisdom and market intelligence by writing about rent review, business tenancies, and retail property. I am a guest writer on Landlordzone.
