A NEW LIFE
A The Farmer
Matt Froggatt used to be an insurance agent in the City of London but now runs a sheep farm.
"After 14 years in business, I found that the City had gone from a place which was exciting to work into a grind-no one was having fun any more. But I hadn’t planned to leave for another five or ten years when I was made redundant. It came out of the blue, but it made me take a careful look at my life. I didn’t get a particularly good pay-off but it was enough to set up the farm with. My break came when I got to know the head chef of a local hotel with one of the top 20 hotel restaurants in the country. Through supplying them, my reputation spread and now I also supply meat through mail order. I’m glad I’m no longer stuck in the office but it’s astonishing how little things have changed for me: the same 80- to 90- hour week and still selling a product."
B The Paniter
Ron Able white was a manager in advertising but now makes a living as an artist.
"My painting began as a hobby but I realised I was getting far more excitement out of it than out of working. The decision to take redundancy and to become an artist seemed logical. The career counsellor I talked to was very helpful. I think I was the first person who had ever told him, ’1 don’t want to go back to where I’ve been.’ He was astonished because the majority of people in their mid-forties need to get back to work immediately -they need the money. But we had married young and our children didn’t need our support. It was a leap into the unknown. We went to the north of England, where we didn’t know a soul. It meant leaving all our friends, but we’ve been lucky in that our friendships have survived the distance plenty of them come up and visit us now."
C The Hatmaker
After working for five years as a company lawyer, Katherine Goodison set up her own business in her London flat, making hats for private clients.
"My job as a lawyer was fun. It was stimulating and I earned a lot of money, but the hours were terrible. I realised I didn’t want to become a senior partner in the company, working more and more hours, so I left. A lot of people said I’d get bored, but that has never happened. The secret is to have deadlines. Since it’s a fashion-related business, you have the collections, next year’s shapes, the season -there’s always too much to do, so you have to run a very regimented diary. I feel happier now, and definitely less stressed. There are things I really long for, though, like the social interaction with colleagues. What I love about this job is that I’m totally responsible for the product. If I do a rubbish job, then I’m the one who takes the blame. Of course, you care when you’re working for a company, but when your name is all over the promotional material, you care that little bit more."
D The Masseur
Paul Drink water worked in finance for 16years before becoming a masseur at the Life Centre in London.
"I had been in financial markets from the age of 22, setting up deals. I liked the adrenaline but I never found the work rewarding. I was nearly made redundant in 1989, but I escaped by resigning and travelling for a year. I spent that year trying to work out what I wanted to do. I was interested in health, so I visited some of the world’s best gymnasiums and talked to the owners about how they started up. I knew that to change career I had to get qualifications so I did various courses in massage. Then I was offered part-time work at the Life Centre. I have no regrets. I never used to feel in control, but now I have peace of mind and control of my destiny. That’s best of all."
【S2】______
