Before the split

I run three separate entities when it comes to business, so before a parting of the waves where each blog will operate on it's own site, this is my opportunity to show who I am and what drives me.

So, me?  46 year old male with terminal pancreatic cancer, who after being diagnosed, gave up a career as a Child Protection Officer and trainer of internet safety, and decided I wanted to cook. Had always loved cooking as a hobby and decided I would try and make a gentle living out of offering Home Made Dishes, which could be prepared and cooked at a Host's house for dinner parties, where I would also serve and clear up. This of course leaves Host/Hostess to entertain their guests and enjoy some quality meals.

To add to this, I wanted to make my own after dinner chocolates, just so there was something special to give the guests rather than the usual mint wafer with their coffee. now make 12 different specialist chocolates, some of which are being used by companies and charity.

After 2 years of retirement from Internet Safety Training, I had a chat with a couple of friends who had suffered with harassment and abuse, simply because they were female small business owners. I put up a tweet asking if anyone would like to send me a message if they had suffered similar and within 2 days, I had 37 messages, the majority from females. Almost ashamed to be a male at this point, I decided to devise a training course for Safeguarding Women In Small Business through my training company ACT 700 which also works with professionals working with teenagers and Anger Management.

So, now you know who I am and what I do.
