Private autobiography

Our founder Roy took part of a tour of the McLaren Technology Centre as part of an Institute of Directors event aimed at inspiring businesses in Surrey. The day included presentations by Simon Turner of  Driving for Better Business and Rob Melville, McLaren’s Design Director, plus a fantastic tour of the factory.

We are very honored that LifeBook’s founder Roy has been included in Dr Tamara Howard’s new book, “Putting the soul back into business”. Tamara’s book is a documentation of a common phenomenon sweeping the world of business – the search for meaning and soul. Many companies are now seeking to be guided by an overarching purpose beyond profit.

We at LifeBook are proud to support the Strike a Light arts and heritage community that relentlessly works with children and community groups, such as Croydon Council. Strike a Light aims to strike a balance between art and heritage in a community-minded way that teaches and inspires, whilst helping to revitalise public spaces.

LifeBook was featured in “Niche work if you can get it” on BBC Radio 4. The program was transmitted on the 17th January 2018 on BBC Radio 4. Nick Baker and his producer Leanne Coyle came to interview our founder Roy and other team members about the niche work they do and the service we provide.

Anyone looking to find a special gift for their father will know it is not always easy to come up with a gift idea that he doesn’t already have. Dad is most likely the sort who has already bought everything he needs – including your intended gift! What about a memoir? It is a very unique and personal gift for your father.

LifeBook was delighted to donate a memoir project for the Chickenshed Grand Auction to raise money and support their pioneering work through theatre and music! Many of the people Chickenshed have helped over the years were present at the auction and shared their amazing stories. Stories perfect for a memoir.
