John trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in Liverpool, worked in East Africa with KPMG and joined international accountants and business advisers, Grant Thornton in the UK in 1987.  He was with them for 26 years including 21 years as a partner.  In this time, he worked with an entrepreneurial client base, ran three locations, developed and delivered training and set his mind to why and how people act as much as considering what they do.  Drawing on early experience in psychiatric nursing, he qualified as a Neuro Linguistic Programming practitioner, trained in hypnotherapy and qualified, with distinction, as an EMCC Coach and Mentor.

 

His aim is always to facilitate people getting the best out of themselves.
