As a covert stutterer, Christopher's speech held him back in ways many people around him did not see. He often felt he came across as disengaged, careless, or rude when the reality was much more complex.

After years of struggling to get his first interview after university, Chris went on to co-found a recruitment company that helps other people find employment.

His work with SHB is shaped by that same belief: with the right mindset and support, people can stop letting fear decide what opportunities they pursue.

Ruban has stuttered since the age of four and focuses his energy on empowering others with similar experiences while raising awareness of a low-profile speech disability.

His work has included talks at University College London, Birmingham University, the University of Law, and Deutsche Bank, alongside appearances on ITV News and BBC London radio.

Ruban is active in Toastmasters International, where he has won contests, chaired events, and mentored new members on their public speaking journey.

James has worked in the charity sector for 25 years as a consultant, finance director, trustee, and fundraising advisor to large charities.

He brings deep experience in helping small charities make a meaningful impact and has a close personal connection to SHB's mission as someone with a stammer.
