Alex is an ordinary man who has achieved extraordinary things.
As a child he taught himself to sail in a small dinghy and with no formal training was soon making his boat go faster. Through persistence he managed to crew on ever bigger and faster yachts, learning all the time. His determination was rewarded when, at the age of 21, he was selected to represent England. He raced professionally with the same team for almost 2 years with great success, winning several major international titles.

More recently he has returned from the Global Challenge Round the World Yacht Race, where he lead his team in some of the world’s most hostile environments, non-stop 24 hrs a day for up to 8 weeks at a time. Again with great success, helping his team record no fewer than four 24 hour records for the race, despite having 2 medical evacuations in the freezing Southern Ocean.

He now works at imparting the passion and experience he has gained by running leadership and corporate training courses. He is also a commercial skipper and qualified sailing coach.

John Mobly, Managing Director, Newnet plc
