ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this powerful episode of SEN Together, we sit down with the incredible Gavin Simpson — founder of Binman to Boardroom® — to talk about resilience, neurodiversity, and redefining success.
Leaving school with no qualifications, Gavin spent nine years driving a bin lorry believing he was “broken.”
An adult diagnosis of autism became his turning point — helping him realise his pattern-seeking brain wasn’t a weakness, but a strategic advantage.
