Details of talks given by Mahmood 'Mebs' Ahmed
I am a retired police officer, author and coach/mentor. I came to England as a nine year old boy from a rural village in Pakistan. A very shy and timid young boy, I knew nothing of the wonderful world that existed outside my little village. After moving to England and a chance meeting with a Lancashire lass my life was transformed. This wonderful woman saw something in a dreamy eyed, lost young man and her love and devotion helped me to go on a journey that helped me to find the real person inside. This journey helped me to go from someone unable to speak for himself to become a voice for others.
I have lived in Lancashire since 1973, having moved from Oxfordshire to Yorkshire then to Lancashire. I left school with little qualifications and began my working life in a bank, a dairy, on the buses, as a Traffic Warden, before I found my true vocation as a Police Officer.
I retired in 2013 and only took up writing during the Covid Pandemic in 2020. In my first book. 'PC Mebs - Finding Myself', I share my life story.
Since it's publication I have become a guest speaker and deliver series of three talks.
