Dom was the driving force behind the creation of Respect4us in 2010. Having worked in a local school for 35 years his drive to make sure every child received the support and education they required along with his passion for alternative learning led to the decision to step into the unknown and be part of an alternative provision.

During its second year the Respect4us team decided to create a charity to run alongside the main business, once again Dom stepped in to set this up.

After five years at Respect4us as Chairman of both the business and the charity Dom retired but remains the Chairman of the Respect4us charity.
