Over the past 20 years, Darren has been the owner and Managing Director of two companies based in Singapore, and another, in Scotland. Prior to commencing the journey as an entrepreneur in 2002, at the age of 16, he joined the British Forces.
During his service in the Army, Darren served in Germany, UK, Europe, Canada and Norway (Arctic Warfare). Darren passed the all-arms commando course in 1981 and joined 3 Commando Brigade – 59 Independent Commando Squadron RE and was attached to 45 Commando (Condor Troop).
During the 1982 Falklands War along with many other British service men and women, he was exposed to life changing experiences that have driven him to where he is today.
Darren brings his experiences of working from the emptiness high above the tree line in the arctic to working under pressure, deep below the seas surface, where the visibility is poor, the currents are strong, silent, yet noisy. There are creatures around that can kill you by just touching them, where the simplest of work task if not carried out correctly will have lasting effects on your health and physical condition or kill you. Taking these experiences to how he now carries out his daily activities in life and business ensuring sustainability and positivity. Having experienced his own fair share of life extremes, nearly being killed in the military (during war) and the civilian workplace (underwater), he believes that when we have ‘mindset’ issues, it is about maintaining a ‘Positive Health’ mindset to overcome our challenges and problems while being adaptable and agile to change.
When A.R.C.T.I.C Principles are implemented, they lead to positivity, sustainability, growth and success at all stages of business and life.
