Rob Weatherhead was always heavily focused on his career. The dad-of-three spent years climbing the ranks and eventually went on to become a director on a six-figure salary.
The 40-year-old could be away from his Bolton home for up to 13 hours a day, with long commutes including trips to Manchester city centre and Warrington. His working schedule meant he regularly missed out on spending precious time with his young children.
In a bid to take back some personal time, Rob walked away from his job to become a freelance consultant in 2014 – but his busy lifestyle stayed the same. “I was still going into someone’s office and I was still spending most of my days around Manchester,” he says.
