Resume for Alan Myall.

Alan was born in 1952 in wales U.K .Alan was looked after by Dr Barnardo’s Orphanage at Horsington house Templecombe due to poverty in his birth families home.

Alan was a keen sportsman excelling at soccer, cricket, and track at school, he still loves sport but prefers Golf as the sport of choice these days.

At the age of 11 Alan was approached by his guardians( Dr Barnardo’s) and offered the opportunity to finish school in Australia, some 300 children were offered the same opportunity but after 2 years of interviews and promises of a better life Alan was the only one to actually continue, becoming the last Dr Barnardo’s boy to come to Australia under the scheme at that time.

Alan attended Kiama High school south of Sydney until 15 years of age when he went to Sydney to work as an apprentice chef in a 5 star restaurant called The Ox on the rocks at circular quay.

Alan then became interested in sales and started knocking on doors for a carpet cleaning company in Sydney becoming the top salesman for the company Alan’s reputation travelled fast and was head hunted by a freezer food company to promote its products.

Alan moved on from there and became a kitchen designer eventually opening his own business importing Danish and German Kitchens for upmarket homes and developments, at this time Alan also opened a boutique handmade ice cream factory introducing waffle cones to Australia, the ice-cream was so popular that Alan sold the operation to his opposition and travelled overseas revisiting the orphanage and finding out more about his history as a child.

On returning Alan became acquainted with a person who was involved in marketing property and educating investors on the benefits of negative gearing, this new industry interested Alan who eventually travelled Australia speaking to interested investors at seminars and private meetings for several years.

Alan opened his own business specialising in investment property and still today shares his knowledge to those who ask or need help.

Regulations changed from 2007 and only licenced representatives could present to investors, so Alan studied and became licenced in the 3 disciplines required in the industry to comply with government regulators.

Alan now holds licences in Qld Real Estate, an ACL licence for finance and completed RG 146 in financial planning, holding a diploma of financial planning today. Alan now works as a consultant only to companies and old clients, sharing his knowledge and assisting where necessary. Occasionally Alan deals one on one with new clients recommended by others who know him.

Alan has a philanthropic attitude and because of his unusual upbringing cannot refuse helping others less fortunate if he can, examples of this are when Alan instigated and raised over $ 50.000.00 to assist a cancer patient to have a lifesaving operation because the person did not have medical insurance or any capital to make this happen. Alan on another occasion organised and paid the funeral expenses for a friend who passed away without funds to be sent off this planet with dignity. Alan also has donated time and money to many other causes but prefers to keep the details private and between the recipients and himself.

Living in Queensland Australia on the Gold coast Alan keeps his hand in the property business with his partner, he still enjoys seeing clients benefit from investment decisions they have made, or helping people sort out problems from bad investment decisions, e.g. over spending on credit cards, or having too much consumer credit, This activity still keeps him busy and satisfied that he still has something valuable to offer, as he now reaches the mature age of 61 Alan told me he will continue his work until he stops enjoying it, and at the moment he cannot see when that will be.

This synopsis is a fraction only of Alan Myalls story, he promises to write a book one day to share the extraordinary life this man has lived and is still living.
