As well as managing this project he has his own production company called Grove Productions. ‘Growing up in the 80s and 90s Neurodivergence wasn’t something that was really discussed. I’ve know I was dyslexic since my early 20’s but was only diagnosed in my late 30’s at the same time I realised I had ADHD.’

‘Discovering I had ADHD helped my shed a lot of negative labels like ‘lazy’, ‘disorganised’, ‘fickle’ and ‘unco-operative’. It has improved my self esteem no end and has made me far less embarrassed about asking for help.’
