Hi! I work in the energy efficiency & renewable energy industry sourcing, supplying, and installing products.
From humble beginnings as a plumbing and heating apprentice, I progressed to Sales Director successfully transforming underperforming businesses within the home improvements and construction industry. This is where my entrepreneurial journey started back in 1992! In 2019, an unmissable opportunity to start Vision2030 came about when an energy & renewals company I was working with collapsed during a geopolitical crisis.
What makes Vision2030 different is our focus on delivering fantastic customer service that helps our customers lower their carbon footprint and become more energy efficient in a more affordable way.
What I like most about the Humankind Entrepreneurs Club is being part of a like-minded humanitarian community that’s encouraged to come together and share ideas. The Humankind Entrepreneurs Club helps youth and experience come together in a refreshingly contemporary way that Facebook has proven can be highly successful for its alumni.

Hi! My charity, Gympanzees, provides play and exercise facilities for children and young people with disabilities.
​
My entrepreneurial journey started in 2012 when I set up my own physiotherapy practice specialising in children with disabilities.
As much as I loved what I was doing, I was frustrated that I was only able to help 35 children each week, and to do that I was working far more hours than I knew were healthy!
​
I also recognised a huge gap in exercise opportunities for disabled children in the community. I decided I wanted to help more families to access affordable exercise and play facilities so I founded a charity called Gympanzees.
​
My aim is to build the first comprehensive leisure facility in the UK that caters for children and young people with disabilities and their families. Until we can secure the land and funding to build a permanent centre, we provide pop-up facilities where families can access the support they need, and have developed several new services during the pandemic.
​
I love the idea behind the Humankind Entrepreneurs Club! It helps me think that what I’m aiming to do is possible and worthwhile. It’s also great to see other entrepreneurs like me doing something that is ethical and socially responsible in a sustainable way. I love that I can access snapshots of information as and when needed, rather than having to commit to an intensive programme at a fixed time.

Hi! Allow me to introduce myself!
You will see me from time to time appearing in social media blogs and other content, helping to tell the story of real-life entrepreneurs.
​
I'm here for two main purposes.
​
Firstly, I serve the interests of commercial sensitivity, enabling information to be shared without harming the businesses who've been kind enough to share their journeys and stories with Bradley Brown Consulting.
​
I'm also here as an aide to the less extroverted entrepreneurs among us who prefer a more discreet presence and wish to be known for their actions and outcomes.
