OUR STORY
I founded The First Aid Company in 2020. For 15 years before that I had an amazing job as cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic Airways, flying around the world but also completing intense medical and safety training to keep passengers safe mid-air.
I 2019 my Mum had a sudden cardiac arrest, I performed CPR on my mum for 6 minutes. The paramedics said if I hadn't have done the CPR on Mum she wouldn't of survived. Performing CPR was the most horrific experience of my life and I found it deeply traumatic. It made me imagine being in my situation and not knowing what to do.
​
From my experience I want to teach people how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator, to give people the confidence to take action if they ever find themselves in a similar position to me. Defibrillators play such a vital part in saving lives, a huge part of my drive is fund raise to raise money to buy defibrillators for throughout Sussex.
​
I took redundancy from Virgin Atlantic during the Covid-19 pandemic. I grabbed the opportunity to train as First Aid instructor and to setup The First Aid Company. This isn't just a business to me. I know it sounds cheesy but I really want to make a difference.
