Mark Hamilton, Sales Director

Since joining a few months ago,
I have found Antony to be both extremely informative but also very interesting and he has really made me think about how I approach sales,
leading to some great results.

Working with the Ex Military Mentor was nothing short of transformative for my business. His one-to-one coaching sessions provided me with actionable strategies that helped me tackle the challenges I was facing head-on. I especially appreciated his approach to leadership, which is clearly honed from years of diverse experience. He's not just another coach; he's a mentor in the truest sense.

I've attended numerous workshops over the years, but the Ex Military Mentor's stood out by a mile. The exercises were hands-on, the lessons learned were immediately applicable, and the atmosphere was one of genuine teamwork. It's clear he knows what it takes to succeed in both the battlefield and the boardroom. His insights into resilience and teamwork have significantly improved my sales team's performance.

Meet Your Mentor

Antony Draper

Ex Military Mentor

Meet your mentor, a seasoned veteran not just of the military but also of the business world. With an extensive background that spans from parachute jumps and war deployments between 1994 and 2005, to strategic roles at HP, Capita, Socitm Advisory, The Logic Group, Public Sector, his expertise is hard-won and diverse. In a quest to make the transition from military to civilian life smoother for others, he even founded a company dedicated to that very cause. Although the business venture did not succeed, it became a cornerstone experience in understanding what not to do—equally invaluable.

Today, as the Ex Military Mentor, he brings to the table a rare combination of leadership, resilience, and practical business know-how. His coaching services, webinars, and workshops are designed to empower business owners and sales leaders with insights and actionable strategies, deeply influenced by his military and corporate backgrounds.

As a recognised authority on topics like Leadership, Business Growth, and the Sandler Sales Framework, he's not just a coach but a thought leader who's shaping modern perspectives on business excellence. He is also an ambassador for the Cheltenham Business Growth Network and a member of prestigious networking groups like FORE Business and B2B Network Gloucester. So, when you're learning from him, you're learning from someone who's been there, done that, and is still doing it successfully
