Made redundant from the steel industry in 1978 where he was
a senior laboratory technician, Geoff worked at the local
learning disability hospital and was soon pushed into nurse
training. While training he joined Drive, becoming its chairman
soon after. He worked hard to organise it and give it proper
direction.
Geoff was convinced that institutional life disabled people
further and that it was possible for people with disabilities
to live normally and within the community. “I believe
a good leader has a clear idea of what he/she wants to achieve
and the ability to inspire others to want to achieve it too,”
he says.
