Company Background
With an extensive 30-year career in training, education and professional football, Richard has a deep passion for First Aid training in sports, education, and the wider business sector.
In 2018, while on holiday with his family in Bali, Richard experienced the terrifying power of nature. Living through one of the largest earthquakes to hit the island in a century was life and career-changing.
Witnessing the devastation to infrastructure & communities, Richard met inspirational disaster relief helpers, medics, health workers, and volunteers in the worst-affected areas. What stood out was the importance of basic first aid skills and the courage and willingness to help. Sadly, few people in the community were prepared. This highlighted a simple truth: basic first aid skills can save lives and make the community safe.
Motivated by this life‑changing experience, Richard returned to the UK determined to help ordinary people feel confident in medical emergencies. From this mission, FAC+T First Aid Training was created.
