Eddie Backler

Edwin has a rich and diverse range of business and leadership experience. He spent his early career working as a qualified accountant in the energy sector for multinational corporations in the UK, South America and Africa. For the last 15 years he has been pursuing entrepreneurial interests, acquiring various SMEs in Scotland and Ireland, primarily in the residential property management sector. Navigating the fluctuating economic climate of the last decade has brought him many learning opportunities both in times of growth and contraction.

As Chairman of his company, he finds himself in the best of both the worlds he is passionate about – business and leadership development. Whilst remaining actively involved in business, his role enables him to spend time developing the leadership team within his company, as well as sharing his wisdom with leaders in a variety of other business organisations and charities. One of his highlights this year has been training and advising a group of entrepreneurs to enable them to turn their concepts into viable enterprises.

Edwin’s passion is to encourage others to discover and embrace their full potential. Self-awareness and an understanding of how to remove personal limitations are key to this. The process inevitably leads individuals to an ambitious enthusiasm to become well-equipped, motivated, outstanding leaders in all spheres of life. Edwin is a certified Myers Briggs practitioner.
