His story of how he nearly gave up on life due to racism at the age of 11 is heartbreaking, but the way he turned around his negativity into positive energy is a key point in his talks. Kevin delivers the 'Formula To Success' workshops which give students the mechanism to realise their dreams and reach their goals.

'The harder I work the luckier I get' is Kevin's favourite saying and having completed his degree in International Business Management at the 6th best University in the country whilst building his businesses, is something to admire.

"Mr. Patrick was a particular inspiration to our students, where, at only 18 years of age, he has already commenced his own successful business, as well as completing A-levels on the side! A lot of students felt they could relate to him personally, with one commenting that ‘he really spoke to us… and made us feel like we could achieve too.’"
