Toby McCartney

Toby McCartney was born into a British army family in 1977 in North Yorkshire and attended a boarding school from a young age in Cumbria, UK. Although Toby left school at 18 with- out any qualifications, he discovered a real interest in business from an early age.

Toby‘s businesses and projects range from setting up one of the first ever internet hotel advertising platforms to creating charities like Tobysshoes.com and GivingAfrica.org. He managed and produced a number one selling album with a band (FionaClayton. com), and ran a training company providing programs for children (Brainobrain.com), and still runs courses and workshops across the world for adults in NLP and Coaching, as well as public speaking and train the trainer programmes (tobyandkatemccartney.com) and the internationally acclaimed “Plastic Roads Company” (macrebur.com). He has written his own book on Mastering Memory and co-authored a book with his wife called The NLP Practitioner. Toby has won many awards, from Richard Branson’s Virgin VOOM 2016 Award, to IoD’s Director of the year, business and entrepreneur awards to innovation and education — Toby’s career is dedicated to entrepreneurialism.

As Toby continues to grow as an entrepreneur and business leader, he is keen to share his experiences, knowledge and skills with as many budding entrepreneurs and potential leaders as pos- sible, either through his training programmes or with his one-to-one business coaching sessions.

He is an advocate of combining both life purpose with profit and believes these two are powerful motivators for change in the world. Toby has been happily married to his wife, Kate, for 19 years and counting – and they are proud parents of two little girls, India and Keira. They live in rural Scotland with their two dogs, two cats, goats and a free pub in their back garden.
