About Me.
From humble beginnings in Edinburgh, Richard Skellett's journey is a testament to resilience and ambition. Born into a family that exemplified hard work—his father laboring seventy hours a week and his mother juggling four part-time jobs—Richard's early life was steeped in a reality where making ends meet was a daily challenge. Despite their financial hardships, his family provided a rich foundation of love and trust, which became the bedrock of his future endeavors.
Richard’s drive was ignited by personal experiences that taught him the harsh realities of life. At a tender age, he faced the stigma of poverty firsthand when a friend’s father openly resented paying for Richard’s activities, highlighting the divide between the "haves" and "have-nots." This incident profoundly influenced Richard, steering him towards early financial independence. By thirteen, he was already contributing to his family's income, a testament to his ingrained work ethic and determination to forge a better path.
Tragedy struck with the loss of his younger brother to drug addiction, a pivotal moment that deeply affected Richard and shaped his purpose. This loss highlighted the destructive paths that lack of opportunity and support could lead to, fueling his resolve to create meaningful changes in the workplace and society.
These formative years were not only about overcoming adversity but also about understanding the value of human potential when nurtured with compassion and opportunity. Richard's journey from the streets of Edinburgh to becoming a visionary in the future of work is not just his story but a beacon for anyone who strives to transform challenges into stepping stones for success.
