Activities:
Network Marketing is an activity of primary inportance, but limited in several ways. Having moved house a few monhs ago there is still much to do. This limits my preferred activities. I actively follow the current policitial situation in the UK (where I reside) and especially the dire financial situation brought upon us by the previous Labour Goverment. Both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have caused untold damage to this once great Country of ours. I am passionate about MY Country but am fearful as to the direction it is heading and external threats looming. Another issue is the Eropean Union and the immense threat that corrupt body poses to the British People. Looking after my Wife occupies a considerable amount of my time. I enjoy meeting up with our grandchilden as much as we can. Over all, reading books concering Personal Development is my great pleasure. When time permits, I also very much enjoy watching sporting activities on TV.

About Me
My Story::
WWII had a considerable impact upon my education. By the time I was 12 years old I had been to 7 schools! – mainly due to evacuation from the London area at various stages to escape the bombing by the Nazis.
Left school at 15 – mechanical engineering apprenticeship in workshops and drawing office. 9 years evening classes, 3 evenings per week – interrupted by 2years of National Service in the UK Army. Returned to my original company for 2 years as a draughtsman. Left and joined a large British Company – qualified as a Professional Chartered Engineer – involved in a range of engineering projects – then mainly in the design, construction and operation of on/offshore pipelines for transporting crude oil and gas on a worldwide basis. A superb career of 30 years. Continued as a Consultant in the same field for several years.
Following early retirement what was I then to do?
“Out of the blue”, so to speak, I received an invitation to enter Network Marketing and I joined a telecommunications company as a distributor.
That Company provided some training but mainly in its products. For several years I struggled to build a sizeable customer base and a small Team.
Being convinced of the merits of Network Marketing as a Home Based Business, I had a thirst for more insight.
Then, thorough a series of events via the Internet, I joined my primary MLM Company, Vitamark International. I had found a group of people only too willing to help each other. This is a Company that I find to truly meet the demands of the Five Criteria that its associated Training Group proclaims to be essential for assessing any MLM company.
My Location: Bourne, Lincolnshire
