I never thought that I would be the UK’s only professional Name Analyst.

When I discovered this system I was very happy selling vitamins and minerals as Northern Sales manager for Quest Vitamins.

However my birthday is Christmas Eve and in 1988 one couple invited to the party arrived nearly two hours late and seemed rather upset. The lady only wanted a cup of tea and as I made this for her in the kitchen she suddenly burst into tears saying “ everything her and her husband had worked for was all finished”. As she drank her tea she added that it was her son who had ruined everything. 

Never thinking to ask her permission I asked what his name and age were and explained that he had got involved with the wrong friends, been led into drugs, had been arrested and lost his job! The lady was extremely surprised and asked how I knew all of this but I do not think that she really believed me when I said that it was all from a brief study of her son’s name. I reassured her that it was not the end and that 18 months ahead her son would be working abroad, successfully in a new career.

This lady told her husband and I went through it all again. I thought that was the end of it but they then told all the people at the party. Suddenly everyone wanted to know what was in their name, their partner’s name, their children’s names and even their relative’s names.

Obviously, as the drinks had been flowing, there was no point in supplying any in depth information so I suggested that they contact me in the New Year and have the names analysed in a way which would be practical for them.

I never dreamt that they would take up my offer but in January most of them telephoned me to have their names analysed! I worked very hard to produce easily understandable and practical definitions and then discussed these on tape with some logical advice together with an examination of the future events. 

After seeing these people I thought it was all over and I could get back to my normal career but these people told their families and their friends and in the following weeks I was inundated for appointments!

It was at this time that Quest made me redundant and when, for the first time in my life I had difficulty in finding another sales position, Hazel (now my wife) suggested that I work as a Name Analyst until I found a proper job.

18 years later I am no longer seeking a proper job as I am more than happy helping my clients learn about themselves (or another person) and revealing the events in their future so that they can maximise all the positive events and of course minimise anything which is negative. 

However my biggest thrill still comes from legally changing my clients name to eliminate the problem areas and then receiving feedback about how happy they are now their problems have either totally disappeared or have been reduced to manageable levels.
