About

I appreciate I am incredibly fortunate; I love what I do.

I set up Bluejohn Marketing in May 2003. Before that I held a number of senior marketing positions with companies in construction, utilities, manufacturing and product distribution. I was Marketing Director of CAN Ltd for six years, part of the management team that built the world’s largest roped access contracting organisation.

CAN was particularly successful in winning work on a series of major millennium projects including the installation of the fabric roof on the Millennium Dome (now ‘The 02’).

As you will see from the Testimonials, I don’t work with businesses, I work with people. My best work is produced when I am engaged by Managing Directors and Senior Managers who are open to new ideas, comfortable embracing change, and strong enough to make choices and take decisions.

I look forward to working with you.

In December 1996, after 11 months on dialysis, I received a kidney transplant from my father, Colin. After the transplant I competed in the annual British Transplant Games and was a member of the British team at the World games in 2003 (Nancy, France) and 2005 (Ontario, Canada). Living proof that if you find a small enough peer group even the most unlikely candidates can achieve sporting success!

After 16 years of heroic service the kidney function started to fail. My father was understandably reluctant to offer his other kidney, but my sister, Jane, took the incredibly brave decision to donate. The transplant took place in March 2013 and, touch wood, has behaved impeccably ever since.

There are hundreds of people in the UK on waiting lists for donor hearts, kidneys, livers, bone marrow and cornea. It could be you – I certainly never expected it to be me. In 2020 the UK moved from an opt-in system to an opt-out system. However, it is still a big help to nurses, doctors and prospective patients if you record your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
