David Stannard - aka The Vision GuyTM - is the Founder and Owner-Director of Paradise Rescued. Born and educated in England, qualifying as a Chemical Engineer from Birmingham University in 1980, David has had a successful leadership career in the petrochemical industry in the UK, Netherlands and Australia, covering more than 35 years.
