I was born in Hertfordshire where I have spent all my life, from birth I had some medical issues, including congenital & genetical, throughout my educational life I was bullied & was in a very dark place, I was unable to concentrate in lessons & just managed to pass my GCSEs, I went into college and studied Business & Administration and was able to touch type by the time I left.
In 1997 my life changed completely I had lost my father suddenly & was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Dissorder) - Anxiety - Depression - Stress so little things leave huge scars. I have managed to control all this by focussing on things I enjoy doing, in particular working on ways to help those around me in fundraising & raising awareness, I was a Postman for 8 years before I was injured and was medically retired, during the period as a Postman I was appointed a voluntary role as a Regional Coordinator for Charity, Community & Welfare programme for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association in HERTFORDSHIRE where I served for over 25 years in this area, managed to win a number of awards from Leukaemia Lymphoma Research now known as Bloodwise, organised a number of events including a Charity Walk & Bikeathon in Milton Keynes also organised a charity football tournament held in Stadium MK with the support of MK DONS SET.
I then served the same role in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Elders Association and recently organised a Charity Walk starting from StadiumMK to Coldicotte Lake, 5km I gained experience in this field and wanted to do something Unique, I was unable to take part in many different events including Cycling or Swimming as never been able to do this from birth and due to my congenital conditions was scared. Therefore I undertook a challenge that many have never tried or too scared off trying, I took to the sky & jumped out of a plane TANDEM and did 4 Sky Dives to raise money for the charities I had close connections with. Which gave me the confidence and encouragement to set my own event & awareness company.
Born in Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, where I left school at 16 then went to serve my time as an apprentice Engraver, once I qualified was made redundant due to conuntry's economic situation.
Then I worked for the Co-Op as a driver for the Gateshead Funeral Service, I was then offered a position as a trainee Funeral Director & worked my way up and then gained my Diploma & became a Qualified Funeral Director, after 20 years I was medically retired due to Rheumatoid Arthritis in my ankles.
I went to college studied computers, fell in love then moved to Hertfordshire as there was better job opportunities.
I was offered a job in Secondary Education and became an HLTA then offered a place at University. Worked with students in SEN & taught basic literacy & numeracy, then I was offered a job in Design Technology.

Peter was born in the North and ran away to the circus… Travelled the world and found his feet… Made his first million selling property in the canaries at 19 and spent the lot! Bought a bar and lived the dream for 5yrs… fell in love and returned to the UK… made a career on London Underground… started bottom to the top, which is where he found his niche… teaching and course writing and so he is partly responsible for the boring courses anyone in education has to endure today… then adding many years in direct sales and marketing made his next million. Peter then went back into education and became one of the first assessors on the railways and achieved many goals and currently still specialises in customer service and employability skills training… he brings a passion for helping others to #SupportUKtoday and has a large social media network we are using to build #SupportUKtoday into the leading awareness/fundraiser in the UK in the next few months/years
