My name as you have probably already gathered is Norman Bartholomew and I am the Managing Director of a small but very successful Discount Property Sourcing Company based in Ryde on the Isle of Wight, called “Buy To Let Investors Ltd”. We employ 6 people and in 2007 we found buyers for property valued at over £20m both at home and overseas. I am also an experienced investor and along with my co-shareholders in BTLI we own and manage property in excess of £5m. I am also a director and shareholder of another successful business called Universal Savings Ltd, which is a specialist utilities broker with around 400 business customers throughout the South of England. I have been an entrepreneur for the last 15 years prior to which I was a Bodyguard, where following 10 years in the Royal Military Police specialising in Close Protection, I ran the largest commercial Close Protection operation in Europe with a staff of 52 ex- Military personnel many of whom were RMPCP and Special Forces. In addition to this I am an experienced writer, having produced a comprehensive Self-Empowerment course called the Vortex System in 1999, which is now out of print and when I get time will be updated and re-launched.
