Growing up on a farm gave Trevor a love of the natural world and it was almost inevitable he went on to study biology at university. He remained in academia long enough to gain his PhD in Molecular Biology before joining the marketing department of an international biological reagent company. It wasn’t long though before the entrepreneurial side of him broke through and he started his own reagent distribution company. Having sold his share in that business, Trevor co-founded a pharmaceutical testing company; both organisations still thrive today.
After 20 years in the commercial world, Trevor realised the thing that drove him was not growing a business, it was his desire to grow the people within the business. This passion led him to go back to the classroom and re-skill before starting his own international training company. Over the past seventeen years, Trevor has travelled globally, delivering personal development programmes to an international corporate client base.
As part of this role, Trevor became a Visiting Lecturer at the university, leading workshops and seminars for both under- and post-graduate students. His enthusiasm for helping students gain the practical skills needed to succeed in the workplace resulted in him becoming a full-time lecturer within The Business School.
Trevor currently serves as Learning & Development Manager at the university, a role that has enabled him to return to what has always been his greatest professional passion: helping people realise their potential and grow. Working with colleagues across the institution, he supports staff development, enhances professional capability, and creates opportunities for individuals and teams to thrive. While his focus has shifted from developing students to developing staff, his commitment to helping others learn, grow, and succeed remains unchanged.
