Work Background
The Bark Angel Founder
Nov. 2022Chobham, England, United KingdomThink of the Hell's Angels only with dog hair! The Bark Angels want to end breeding slavery and pet theft and a lot more and everyone can help. All dog lovers will be welcome to sign up their dog. We'll also be having an expert level Halol for the very best people in the dog world. We want to see an end to dog owners being scammed and an end to dogs being collateral damage due to being exploited by people for whom dogs are mere commodities. Dogs are family and we will make you believe in angels! Looking for mentors and investors to help build this and change the world for all dogs forever.
We pledge to end breeding slavery in our lifetime. No more mums living lonely lives as breeding machines. Pet dogs being snatched to be used for breeding then chucked out when they're too old to exploit. We check the provenance of the eggs we buy, we want every dog to be born into a loving, ethical home where they spend eight weeks learning how to be the best dog in the world.
All dogs should be given the best chance of a happy healthy life, all should come with a safety net too and a runway to prep both dog and home.
This is the world that the Bark Angel wants to build.
Seeking tech geniuses and people who still dream of a better world prepared to invest to push this snowball so it gains it own momentum. One day all dogs will be bred this day. For every dog's sake lets make that day today if possible. Tomorrow at a push, but definitely in our generation!
Join us, it's going to be fun changing the dog's world I promise.

TheDevilWearsDogHair.comPodcaster
Mar. 2020ChobhamIn lockdown I created this video podcast - I interviewed some of my heroes - just amazing people live via Dogs Today's massive Facebook page (1.3 mill followers) and then the recording went on the podcast for people to watch at their leisure. These are unscripted conversations and they transmit live so we never really know what will happen. Highlights include Colin Skeaping, one of the world's first professional stuntmen - who was Luke Skywalker's double for the first three Star Wars - in an era before CGI. So many iconic movies he's been in, but he gave it all up to spend more time at home with his dogs, who also have appeared on our screens and theatre stages. Lucy's Law inventor Marc Abraham, Pet theft reform campaigner Debbie Matthews, Human and Animal rights QC John Cooper, Reformed TV dog trainer Jordan Shelley, Award-winning TV producer Jemima Harrison, British vet and American academic Dr Ian Dunbar - the inventor of puppy socialisation and lecturer on human sex - really! These are all recorded and ready to listen. One of them reveals how they came to see Boris Johnson's underpants on the floor in Downing Street, another had Daily Mail photographers hiding in the hedge and it was all my fault - another reveals once seeing a soul leaving someone who died , another was propositioned while delivering a wardrobe ... and one of the above has a very famous father... in fact several of them do!

Tailwaggers Club TrustChairman and trustee
Jan. 2005 - Jun. 2016UKSadly this ancient and wonderful charity has now closed but the memory lives on. In its heyday even the Queen was a member of Tailwaggers and there was even a Hollywood branch! Tailwaggers donations helped start Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Royal Veterinary College. I first discovered the Trust in the 1990s purely by chance, when I inadvertently infringed their copyright by using the name Tailwaggers for a campaign to stop cosmetic docking. The more I heard about this, by then, a very tiny charity the more interested I became in it. For many decades the Trust had been quietly doing good works and helping people with pets, but hardly anyone knew they existed. The pot of money left to the trust was declining rapidly and fresh donations were few and far between. Even with the oxygen of publicity, even more people who needed Tailwaggers services emerged - and donations could not keep up with demand. But, despite the considerable challenges, the remarkable little charity continued to make a tangible difference to those lives it touched - and sadly increasingly not everyone could be significantly helped financially, but often, just finding someone to talk to who cared at their darkest hour often proved a comfort to pet lovers. The trustees could see that the numbers of people seeking ever more substantial assistance were so great and the income still so small that the time was coming where we would need to stop.
It was an honour to have been involved in this lovely charity and I fondly remember the cases where lives were changed or in some cases even saved. It is the end of an era. It was an honour to work alongside some amazing compassionate people in some cases giving decades of voluntary public service, our secretary Sid Nye deserving special mention as he continued in post well into his 80s. As with all things to do with pets, you have to know when it is the right time to say goodbye - no matter how much your heart may want you to continue.

Dogs Today MagazineEditor Dogs Today Magazine (+ Publisher)
Jan. 1990Chobham, SurreyI joined as launch editor, the title being owned by Burlington Publishing Co Ltd a subsidiary of the Daily Mail.
After two years I did an MBO taking with me two members of staff and Viscount Rothermere as a shareholder.
After 23 years I stepped down as Editor to become Chief Executive of the fantastic charity Hounds for Heroes, founded by Dogs Today contributor of 13 years - Allen Parton. Whose legendary dog Endal was the magazine's Dog of The Millennium. I have now returned as Editor of Dogs Today and we have revamped and relaunched from July 2014 onwards.
Dogs Today has always led the way on social media and we just went past the 1,300,000 likes threshold on our Facebook page (significantly more than BBC Radio 2's Facebook page if that puts it into some context!) and that regularly has an engagement of more than 250,000 and a reach of 2 million. It is a very active community that really is united in the love of dog! I have used my experience of managing our social media content to shape the direction of the new Dogs Today magazine as well as using influences from the women's magazine world. I hope you like it!
Recent TV appearance include BBC News, ITV the Big Audition, BBC1 Rip Off Britain. Prior to that, BBC1 One Show with Warwick Davies - which was filmed from our garden!
