Public Speaking

Robin was a boy soldier at fifteen, a paratrooper at seventeen and an SAS soldier at twenty-one. He fought in five wars as a front line soldier, gained the top score on the Royal Marine Sniper course and was a top bodyguard. He was also one of the UK’s first Paramedics and ran clinics all over the world. He built a medical centre on a gold mine in the centre of the Guyana Jungle, but there is more.

In 1992 he started to teach martial arts and for twenty years taught thousands of children karate in South West London building the largest independent children’s karate group in Europe. He broke his neck in training; while recovering he went to Surrey University as a mature student (56) and graduated three years later.

He was active fighting for the Northern Ireland Veterans Movement for eight years which resulted in the Northern Ireland Legacy Bill. He survived bladder cancer, writes books, (his autobiography Fighting Scared was a WH Smith best seller) and he blogs daily on Substack. He lives in South Wales, is a great grandfather and has been married for forty-four years to his wife Heather.

Robin condenses his considerable story into an hour focusing on leadership, psychological resilience, overcoming adversity, bullying and man management. He then allows time for questions.

Public Speaking

“Robin has a way of captivating an audience and enthralled and amused us with his many anecdotes. All the guests were treated to his company after the event and he proved so successful I booked him again recently. I will never tire of hearing his story.”
