Paul’s 1984 Story

Sometimes I really don’t know where the time goes. Back in 1984, it was my first year at secondary school, and my parents were extremely proud of me for getting into the local grammar school. This was in Ilford, Essex.

I’m not sure I excelled in anything at school apart from talking too much. I was awful at sports and I didn’t quite understand why, as my condition, which I have had forever, was never specifically diagnosed until many years later.

Fast forward 40 years and I just feel proud to be a trustee for such an amazing charity. My day job is in business continuity and resilience within an investment bank, which definitely keeps me on my toes!
