Trevor Baylis was born in 1937 in Kilburn, London and was brought up in Southall during the Blitz. His education was disrupted by the War which led to the failure at the 11+ exam. At the age of 15 however, Trevor was swimming for Great Britain. His first job was at a soil mechanics laboratory in Southall, where a part-time day release programme enabled him to study mechanical and structural engineering at the local technical college.
His early career was very diverse: he worked as a stunt man, escapologist, Physical Education Instructor for the Army, and proprietor of his own swimming pool company which successfully installed over 350 pools in schools throughout the UK using his own original design.
Inspired by a television programme on AIDS in Africa he invented the Clockwork Radio, and in 1997 he was awarded an OBE for services to Africa. Always concerned about the neglect of inventors, inventions and intellectual property, he set up Trevor Baylis Brands, to help inventors get their products to market.

Frankie Owens landed himself a prison sentence in 2011 after poor choices and mental illness. On day 2 he began writing the 'Little Book of Prison: A Beginners' Guide', a candid and humorous view of what it's like to be a guest of Her Majesty. Since publication, the book has helped not just first time offenders cope but also their families who are struggling with a life changing experience.
Many crimes are committed out of anger and pain, so Frankie works hard to highlight forgiveness and positive futures for ex-offenders. He has just completed a 62-day, 1160-mile walk from John O'Groats to Land's End in support of The Forgiveness Project.
Frankie is an award winning author and contributes to The Guardian, Huffington Post and The Royal Society of Arts.

Tony Barton is a coach and leadership trainer working with blue chip companies all over the world and he loves his work. In fact he’s always loved his work, whatever he’s done in life. In the 70’s he was working with local communities in Liverpool; in the 80’s, he had a blast marketing booze; the 90’s saw him running successful ad agencies and now, in his 50’s, he’s following his passion for people.
But what happens when you love your work so much there’s no time or energy left to love anything or anyone else?
Tony believes that work burnout is silently reaching epidemic proportions and that if we don’t do something about it soon – we’re heading for a major crash.

Join Tony’s movement to reclaim life balance – say no to burn out!
