I was also head of the company in 2008 to help build the first commercial sailing boat, the HMS Baffin, which was set to sail for the UK in 2010.
My first real job was as an auditor. I had been given a job as a consultant to the government in the early nineties but I was always worried I was not being paid enough to do my job. I would go to work for the government's financial services department for £10 and I worked for the Department for Transport for £12. They asked me to look after the public sector, but I never got the chance to. I was sacked in the end but got a job as a manager with the Royal Society of Chartered Surveyors. Then I got a job as a financial analyst who managed a £100m property fund. I had just finished my Masters degree at the University of Edinburgh when I was given the job of managing the government's financial affairs department.
Over the next year I went with the government's Financial Services Authority to develop the first commercial commercial sailboat, the HMS Gulliver, as a commercial vessel. I worked for the government for the past 10 years on the company's board.
I was told I was too young to be in the role. "They said it was too young," I told them. "It is too young to be in a role now. You can't call it a career."
I worked for the government for five years as CEO of the Royal Society of Chartered Surveyors. I was told I had "a duty to be at the top". I was also told I did not have the qualifications for a job.
