Chartered Engineer to a Successful Social Entrepreneur (Feat. Herman Allen)

Millionaire and CEO Herman Allen is the founder and current owner of Holibrook House (children's homes) and Hopewell School. His working life has spanned over four decades, almost equally split between the first half as a chartered engineer and the second half as a social entrepreneur.

Coming from another industry to set up a social care business it was clear to Herman that he wanted to work "on and not" in the business, although he came to realization that wasn't entirely possible. He saw his role as setting the direction and casting vision guided by his faith, which is to "Restore Hope, Release Potential, Rebuild Lives".

That core task remains to this day. He started over 20 years ago with a fostering agency called Homestead Fostering before closing that and opening our first children's home in 2003 called Holibrook House. We now have 3 homes, a few less than at our peak. We also opened a special school in 2006, to enable us to provide holistic services to our young people.
