PETER BURGESS

I have enjoyed a successful and long career in Sales and Marketing globally and was fortunate to travel the world on business experiencing many different countries and cultures. I retired early six years ago and have been and continue to be an enthusiastic supporter of the Tiny Tim Trust charity by playing in its annual golf day for many years. 

I was approached five years ago to take over the running of the golf day and was happy to do so; for such a worthwhile cause. The golf day has gone from strength to strength and continues to raise much needed funds for the charity; and I am glad to be a small part of the fund-raising efforts.

 In November 2019 I was delighted to be asked to be a Patron of the charity and look forward to supporting the charity in any way possible.

MIKE ANNABLE

He was born at an early age, bred in Derbyshire and has spent most of his life in and around the county.

Most of Mikes working life was in the electrical industry and he retired in 2016. Being a keen sportsman he played a number of different sports over the years with football being his main passion, playing for a number of local teams.

In his Mid 30's Mike then took up golf and has been a member of Chevin Golf Club for over 30 years. He has supported Tiny Tim for over ten years by entering a team in the annual golf day and generally helping to raise awareness and funds.

Mikes continued support and passion for Tiny Tim is humbling and as he is quoted as saying;

"I am delighted to be asked to be a patron and will promote and support Tiny Tim wherever possible".

ROB GRAINGER

Rob has lived around Chesterfield and Derbyshire for most of his life.

He is Chairman of the 18th Chesterfield scouts group so has experience in dealing with the requirements of a young person based charity.

He got involved with Tiny Tim Trust when he heard that they need help with the website and fundraising. Since then he has worked with local Graphic Design company Core displays to present a new modern feeling which helps present the good work the Tiny Tim Trust do.

With a background in problem solving for both local and global companies nothing is too much trouble and whatever is needed to help raise funds or increase the profile of Tiny Tim Trust he is always worth a call..
