Since 2023 Ed has directed AssistND, who provide workplace support services and coaching for neurodivergent people and training for organisations who want to work better with neurodivergent customers, colleagues or volunteers.
Ed himself has Autism and ADHD. He set up AssistND in 2023 to help other neurodivergent people not just cope at work, but also thrive within and outside their working lives.
During his career Ed has delivered some groundbreaking projects, worked with high-profile clients, and received extensive praise. But he's also found the world of work hard. Like many neurodivergent people, he's struggled to get the support he needs to have a proper work/life balance.
Before setting up AssistND, Ed was a Campaign Manager for a political party, working on high-profile parliamentary campaigns. He previously was a Production Manager for one of the world's leading online education companies, and has worked in a variety of fields from Student Unions to Opera houses.
Outside of the business, Ed is a local authority councillor in his home city of Bristol. He is an avid Coventry City fan, a trained composer and loves a cracking owl sanctuary.
