  • I was once broken and believed I was ugly inside and out. I wore a mask every day long before COVID came along and I raged and railed at the world and all those closest to me.

    To the outside world I was confident, happy and successful, inside I was hollow and dead.

    That all changed on 31st October 2017 when I finally saw myself for who I was in my reflection at the bottom of a toilet bowl. My life changed that day as I stopped lying to myself and to those I loved.

    I admitted my addiction, my dirty little secret and took my first steps on what was to become The Stevenson Way.


  • Health & Safety Keynote speaker with over 25 years experience and clients in construction, industrial, commercial, and manufacturing.

    Jimmy began his career in training as a welder/fabricator. Having completed his trade in 1980. Soon afterwards he decided to form his own company – ABS Construction & Shed Systems. Over the years it became a successful business with a fabrication shop, a fleet of cranes and a good cohort of staff.

    On the 15th of October, 2005, that all changed for Jimmy. While working at a galvanising company in Dublin, he fell through a roof and twenty-six feet to the ground floor below.

    That was the day that changed Jimmy’s life forever, he lost his ability to walk, to work and his whole life and that of his family changed forever.
