My Name is Daniel Brides , I started my career coaching tennis and football before moving into full-time employment. I worked in the prison service and then for the NHS for 20 years, supporting people with substance misuse issues, a role which was incredibly rewarding. I love helping people, and working for Rise will allow me to continue to do this! I've also recently set up my own dog walking business which I continue to do alongside Rise.
