BRAD'S BIO
Backgrounder on Brad Burton
- The short version
Brad Burton is 47 (Feb 2020). A professional motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and disruptive business expert.
An entertainer, an educator, a true motivator.
It wasn't always like this. He was born in Salford, Manchester and was brought up by his mum Brenda after his father left when he was just 6 months old.
In his childhood, Brad moved home 14 times.
During his school life, Brad was the class clown, entertaining his friends yet leaving with no qualifications.
After school, Brad joined a YTS (Youth Training Scheme) working on a computer support desk for a company in Salford before securing what was, at the time, his dream job working in a computer games shop in The Arndale Centre in Manchester.
As luck would have it, through the shop he met people connected with the games industry, and blagged his way into getting a job as a 'Journalist' games reviewer on a magazine, appearing over 50 times on TV in the early 90's on gaming shows on Channel 4 and Sky One.
In the mid 90's, Brad got involved in the Manchester rave scene and things took a turn for the worst, resulting in 2 bullets shot being through his bedroom window. This meant that his home and birthplace could no longer be home. The very next day, depressed, dis-orientated and full of loss, Brad fled to Somerset, where he ended up spending years on benefits.
He once again blagged a job in a computer game shop and as a result met a local girl who he later went on to marry.
After a hit and miss stop-start career in marketing, Brad made the decision go it alone, do something different and set up his own business.
At this point, in £25,000 in personal debt, he worked weekends delivering pizza to keep his business afloat.
His business, a business networking company was different and more disruptive than the market had been used to. He based his whole approach on how New Labour (1997) which made the establishment look old fashioned and fuddy duddy. His vision was to provide a fresh way for small businesses to do business which involved community, support, fun, accountability and which was modern, colourful, outspoken, forward-thinking and internet ready.
Nobody gave him a chance, apart from Brad.
That was in 2004 and 4Networking now has groups across the UK, with more than 5,000 events taking place annually. Brad stepped away from the daily running of 4N ten years to the day bringing in a high-level management team. Brad now carries the title of founder.
Brad is also the author of four books: Get Off Your Arse; Get Off Your Arse Too; Life, Business Just Got Easier and Now What? He has also built a reputation as the UK’s Number One Motivational Speaker, speaking to business people throughout the UK and to teams in companies including Bentley, JCB, Costa and keynote speaker at the biggest business shows in the UK. He trains others to become masters of their own stories, mentors individuals both in life AND business as well as running a personal development programme Now What? where he mentors hundreds within his private members group as well as quarterly self-development events which bring people from across the country together as well as providing a platform for amazing speakers. Brad also runs his own speaker agency, Speaker Seeker to showcase the best business speakers in the UK.
He’s a regular outspoken contributor in the written media, radio and television and is also an Ambassador for Somerset.
