Finding inspiration - with Paul Blair
March 6, 2023
In 2006, Sangin, Afghanistan was on of the most dangerous places on earth. It was the epicentre of the British army's ongoing battle with the Taliban. The soliders of C Compay 3 Para – part of the elite Parachute Regiment – were led by Major Paul Blair. They had orders to diminish the Taliban's influence in south Afghanistan and restore power to the Kabul government. It was a mammoth task, the impacts of which are still felt by those involved. Paul, as commander, was hit hard. He spent 20 years of his life in service, so when the time came to take the next steps, it was a difficult time. Since then, he has gone on to found multiple companies, including financial advice service, AFFS, residential property management and letting agency, VAPS - and successful dog toy company, SafeStix. Safestix has sold nearly six million units of its frontline product worldwide. https://littlebigtech.co.uk/little-big-vets/
