SL BUSINESS
provider catering for the renewable energy, construction
industries and oil & gas industries. They provide an
extensive range of health and safety courses to a wide
range of clientele including industry leaders, to people
looking for a career in the growing offshore and onshore
sectors. We also train people back into work or ex forces
to up-skill them in their chosen industry.
And I believe you are launching a scheme within some
local schools soon?
Yes we are working with Wirral Chamber and their
‘Chamber Cadets’ program to launch our ‘Bring your
phone from home’ scheme. This scheme is to educate the
children in what value is actually in their waste electronics.
The school will hold a collection drive where children will
bring in old, unused or broken electronics and we will
collect. We then dismantle and process the printed circuit
boards and split all profits with the school and a local
charity. It is really good for the children to learn that their
‘waste’ they would normally throw away can actually hold
value. Wirral Chamber are supporting us in this and have
been a huge help in rolling it out across local schools.
So you mustn’t have much free time with all this going
on! What do you do to relax?
Well all of my spare time is spent with my family – my wife
Linzie and our two daughters Jazmin and Olivia. I love
going out to Wales and unplugging from all technology for
a day, it doesn’t happen very often but it's worth it when
we do as family is everything to me.
And finally, who is your inspiration?
My dad, John Quinn. He is my best friend, best man at
my wedding, business partner and is who I aspire to be. I
have never met anyone who has not liked him, and he has
always worked his hardest to provide for his family and
give us the best life possible.
