Binman To Boardroom: A Journey of Grit, Neurodiversity, and Smashing the Class Ceiling
The system called him useless, he proved them all wrong!
For nine years, Gavin Simpson drove a bin lorry, trapped in a cycle of depression, social anxiety, and a deep-seated belief that he was simply stupid. He was a working-class dropout, desperately masking his true self to survive a world that only valued the "flat-line" thinker.
This book is the raw, unflinching story of his journey from the rubbish tip to a Chartered Management Accountant at a global motoring manufacturer after a life-changing discovery: his unique wiring wasn't a flaw, but a powerful neurodivergent advantage.
Binman To Boardroom is more than a memoir of smashing the class ceiling. It is a powerful, human manifesto that proves the impossible is achievable.
In this book, you will discover:
The staggering economic cost of a broken system that fails to see the genius in people with neurodivergent minds.
The heartbreaking truth about losing friends, gaining jealousy, and the relentless pressure of feeling like you don’t belong when you try to climb the ladder.
Why traditional education crushed his potential, and how he learned to find his true genius.
This book is a direct, honest conversation for anyone who has ever been told they are "too much," "too intense," or "not good enough."

Stop letting the system define your worth. Your genius is found in your extremes.
The old world focused on making everyone a flat-line conformist, but AI has made conformity obsolete. The future economy needs strategic thinkers and creative problem-solvers—people with a Spiky Profile.
I spent years feeling inadequate until I mapped my own profile. This free, high-impact Visualiser will help you:
See Your Genius: Visually map your unique strengths (Hyperfocus, Visualisation) and weaknesses (Sensory, Task-Switching) on a simple graph.
Defeat Imposter Syndrome: Understand why your struggle is a side-effect of your strength, not a flaw.
Claim Your Power: Discover the exact contrast that makes you invaluable to the modern world.
Stop blaming yourself for burnout. It’s the environment’s fault.
You saw the video: A rose cannot bloom in a desert. Yet, we constantly force ourselves into environments that drain our energy and stifle our potential, leading to burnout and that dreaded Monday morning feeling.
I discovered this key truth on my journey from the bin lorry to Chartered Management Accountant.
This free, high-impact Environment Audit will help you:
Map Your Personal Desert: Identify the top 3 elements in your current job (noise, structure, tasks) that are actively draining your performance.
Define Your Ideal Garden: Outline the exact work setting that would allow you to be at your best.
Create Your Action Plan: Determine whether you need to adapt your current role or strategically pivot to a new one.
Are you stuck battling burnout, convinced that your unique way of thinking is holding you back? This one-hour, intensive session is designed for the high-potential individual who needs strategic clarity to smash their class ceiling or master their Spiky Profile.
This is not therapy; it's a strategic audit delivered by someone who has lived the journey from the dustcart to the Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA CGMA).
The Problem Diagnosis: We will immediately identify the biggest bottleneck in your career—whether it's an Environment failure or a lack of Self-Awareness.
The Strategic Reframing: You will walk away with an objective understanding of why your "weakness" is actually the strategic side-effect of your greatest strength (your Spiky Profile).
The Action Blueprint: We will define the single most crucial Action or Pivot you must take next—the strategic move that will save you months of wasted effort (just like the move that propelled me from the factory floor to the boardroom).
Targeted Tools: I will recommend the exact framework, template, or strategic course module that is required to solve your specific hurdle.
You feel you are due for a career pivot but lack the clarity or confidence to make the move.
You are experiencing burnout and know it's related to your environment, but don't know how to change it.
You need ACMA-level strategic input on how to leverage your unique talent in a corporate or entrepreneurial setting.
Invest 60 minutes in strategy and reclaim years of your potential.
