Richard was asked to deliver a speech on his involvement, which led to his next career move. Following incredible feedback, he sold the shares to his business and embarked on a new adventure as a full-time motivational speaker. Richard has taken to the stage at conferences and events in 14 countries, speaking about his personal and business story as well as his expertise in the business world.

Throughout his career, Richard has used his platform to shout about the greatness of the Grimsby area. Now, he is a part of the significant Greater Grimsby Town Deal.

“My aim is to translate what the deal is into what the deal does for the people of Great Grimsby and how it can inspire future generations to make Grimsby great again. The town has an amazing past of course, but that should only inspire people to guarantee it also has an amazing future too. Just being part of that renaissance would do me!

“I’m a Grimsby boy, it’s home to me and my family and always will be. It has an opportunity to re-invent itself as a town but can only do this with a hefty dose of self-belief. As a public speaker, writer & broadcaster – I have the words to be able to help people see this opportunity and if we can turn the nature of the conversation towards a positive outcome, then anything is possible.”
