Trevor, a former corporate funeral home employee, was disillusioned with high funeral costs. Despite fears of losing money and the responsibility of running a business, Trevor was motivated by his belief in affordable funeral care and with the support of his wife, Gayle and father-in-law, Bob.
In October, he invested £25,000 to establish his own funeral home, T&G Direct Funeral Services, offering compassionate and affordable funeral services. Encouraged by non-profit business advisors BIC, Trevor entered the ScaleUP category of Startup Awards and won the High Growth Award. He continues to work with BIC and the Entrepreneurs Forum, aiming to establish his business within two years instead of the usual five. Trevor also collaborates closely with the charity Billy’s Lifeline, which supports those affected by suicide. He funded the charity’s website and provides advice to victims' families. Recently, he was invited to become a trustee for the charity.
