Taking part would enable me to use this as a platform to help promote equality in the adoption and fostering services. As a former foster carer and an out and proud gay man I have knowledge and experience of this subject and would like to encourage a positive attitude globally.

My experience, combined with many years engaged in customer-focused roles from First class cabin crew for British Airways to setting up the largest Dog Hotel in the U.K., would make me a very positive role model. It has also enabled me to communicate effectively at all levels and, doing so, clearly demonstrates my enthusiasm. This opportunity has excited me from the very first moment.
