A Strabane man who returned to education in his 40s after being on benefits for 20 years has spoken of his pride as he gets ready to start his new business.
Adrian Brown was diagnosed with a heart condition at five years old which led to him missing significant parts of his schooling through hospital visits.
He left school with no qualifications and ‘wandered aimlessly’ for many years, before reinventing himself after having a young family.
