He started his career with Barclays Bank around the Birmingham area.  Not many people would know what £10 million in CASH looks like!

 

In 1980 Richard re-trained as a computer programmer and spent the next 20 years working within IT from programming to team management for mostly blue-chip companies on various large commercial projects.  Most of this work was as an external consultant; definitely one of Richard’s best moves.

 

In 1999 Richard diversified once more as he became a lecturer at Oxford Aviation College where he instructed various technical subjects leading to students passing the UK CAA and the JAA Airline Transport Licence (ATPL) theory examinations.   Using these skills Richard went to live and work in New Zealand for CTC Aviation Hamilton in 2007.  

 

Richard has now returned to the UK where he continues to lecturer in aviation on a freelance basis.   He has also started to build a property portfolio for his retirement.
