Brilliant and Bizarre — the benefits of being in business

PAUL DAY IS THE MD OF SPECIALIST DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY FILESTREAM — BUT DID YOU KNOW HE HAS ANOTHER PERSONA?

One of the wonderful things about being self-employed — and I’m sure it’s the same the world over — are the variety of people you meet and you get to know their amazing stories. These people can inspire others, even if it’s just one single person and give them hope, education, information and sometimes ‘tools’ for success.

This is one of the reasons I keep on talking about my speaker platform and the amazing people who are showcased on it. Every single person can inspire and empower others, given the opportunity. Today we’re going to meet three more people.

THIS IS PAUL DAY’S ALTER EGO — FATHER CHRISTMAS!

Father Christmas Trains For ‘The’ Marathon

Paul Day had never run before he decided to do the ‘Couch to 5K’. Now he’s training for a much bigger challenge — the 2025 London Marathon. He’s already made the half-marathon stage with another six months to go before the BIG event.

He’ll be running to raise funds for Helen & Douglas House, a charity that provides hospice and respite care for terminally ill children across Wiltshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and The Cotswolds, with a personal fundraising target of £2,500.
