He is a sought after corporate communications and employee engagement expert. At OPC he has designed and delivered a number of mission critical internal communication projects for companies like Vodafone, Peugeot, Husqvarna, Somerfield and SEB the global bank since 2003.

He has had quite a journey from humble begins near Broadwater Farm in Tottenham, failing his A levels and even the entrance exam for a Postman…

Having started five businesses and built each of them to between £1M to £6M turnover as well as launching a charity, Bob has a raft of practical knowledge and experience that make him a natural and informative speaker, consultant or facilitator, with a complete understanding of the needs of employees and problems facing Owners, Directors or Managers.

Bob first hit the national headlines in 2001 when he ran 33 marathon’s in only 40 days to get from Lands End to John O'Groats in aid of a burns victim called 'Podge'. He continues to raise money for charities close to his heart through marathon running and completed a further major test of endurance in October 2005 by running six marathons over six days across one of the hottest places in the world ~ Death Valley…This time in aid of Swindon Foodbank tackling issues of poverty and deprivation on his own doorstep.
