Belfast born and now living in Edinburgh, Scotland, Robin is 62 years of age and is now retired following many years as a successful public relations consultant including the position of Chairman of the European Region of the Worldcom Public Relations Group. Robin still works as a profile advisor to a number of leading business people.

Public relations programmes devised by Robin have won major awards both in the UK and the USA, including a Sword of Excellence in the UK and the Gold Award for the Mercury International Communications Programme in the USA.

He founded and developed the World Young Business Achiever movement, a programme to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit around the globe.

Robin devised the idea for Around the World in 80 ways two years ago when, on meeting Miles Hilton-Barber and Mike Mackenzie he recognised the extraordinary power that enabled them to make light of their physical challenges and live full lives. He decided to produce a scheme to harness this power as an example to others.

On reading the book Around the World in 80 Days, he discovered that a Princess accompanied Phileas Fogg, and thus Caroline Casey was added to the team.
