Hugh Robertson CEO & Founding Partner RPM
		Education: Having been born with dyslexia but not diagnosed until later in life, meant an early ejection from school which would imply that I have had not nearly enough education and still need more, much more. Books Reading: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and The Illusions of Entrepreneurship by Scott Shane Favorite Quote: Confucious: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."		Inspirational Figures: Anyone who is brave, visionary and persistent enough to affect change for the better. Relationship Status: Very happily married for 12 years and blessed with a son Milo Ray(3). I dare to ask age ...: 42 but why lead your life by conforming to a stereotype, I still do all the things I did when I was in my 20’s, it’s just the recovery that takes longer!

Short bio of career path:
Unstructured to say the least. I parted from school early, took up HGV driving and pretty much explored the best and worst of what the world had to offer. I started agency life in ZGC after a circuitous route followed by the creation of RPM.
