We discuss Mikes career path after a period of time in banking, as a qualified accountant.
Mike States "my strength lies in my ability to apply my knowledge to drive commercial decision making. I applied this at HSBC for 14 years, working in UK, European and Global Head Office roles.
Following the 2012 Olympics I applied my skills to launching a charity and growing it from start-up to delivering activities to help over 160,000 children to lead more active lives.
Sadly the charity became a victim of the Covid crisis, and I'm now following my passion for physical activity as the Head of Events and Open Water Swimming at Active Training World, a rapidly growing and successful Sports Event Management company."
Please enjoy Mikes fascinating journey.
