Paul St. John Martin:
Born quite a long time ago! and raised in a secluded cottage which had no electricity, mains water or internal sanitation, I left school at 16 with no real qualifications, in the wilds of a country estate and through my experiences and effort escaped the poverty trap with the help of my lovely wife, Sue, together since 1971.
I worked my way up from (award winning) Agricultural Apprentice to Estate Manager and then joined the financial services industry (Top regional Sales Manager) and stayed in the industry for over 20 years.
I am now helping people with Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and other aspects of estate protection. I have great people skills, love motivating and making people happy!
I qualified as an Advanced Motorist at the age of 21 and have been a Police Special and a senior class Soccer Referee. I was also a founder member of the Professional Speakers Association and a Fellow of the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management.
My adventures have taken me to the wilds of Africa where I encountered the wisdom of the Maasai elders, I have tackled the trails of one of the world’s toughest yacht races, the BT Global Challenge, escorted visually impaired adventurers across the Higher Atlas Mountains in the Northern Sahara, sky dived, climbed to Everest Base Camp, dived with sharks off the Great Barrier Reef, and climbed the Inaccessible Pinnacle on the Isle of Skye. (All these have helped raised tens of thousands for various charities)
