Jon Hilton

Overcoming adversity, life lessons from the battlefield and despite disability becoming a x2 World Record holder

Jon was a young boy living on a typical council estate in Yorkshire until 1995 came along. His life was about to change for what should be the best. He joined the British Army straight from school and mapped out his future to include promotions, training and personal development.

Jon served for just short of 15yrs as a Royal Engineer and saw action in multiple war zones including The Balkans, Kosovo and Iraq along with Northern Ireland. Serving in those environments at such a young age seeing the things they see is why Jon believes soldiers lose a little of themselves each time they tour.

Jon’s journey “From Bullets to Business” tells a story of how one young boy became a man but then had to readjust his attitude to become a warrior, as he shares the highs and the lows of facing adversity. The 2 time world record holder and multiple business owner will have you on the edge of your seat or sat back in tears as he unravels his journey of cancer, personal illness, heartache, murder, the amputation and lots lots more.

Listening to Jon tell his motivational and inspirational and sometimes funny story can only inspire both young and older individuals to sit up and face life’s challenges. It gives them an understanding that their attitude and how they adopt it decides their future.

Testimonials from Teachers

"Jon is a totally inspirational guy. As he tells his story, you can't help thinking how can this all happen to one person, but then as you realise how positive he is, all your own petty difficulties fade away. If you want someone to shock, shake up and inspire your group, Jon is your man."

– David Emslie, Business Advisor

"Jon is one of the most likable and inspirational people I know. For all he has had to contend with in career and personal life, he still has the time and a smile for everyone he meets. He is dedicated to helping others solve their problems by giving examples of his own experiences which go far beyond what anyone would expect for someone of his age. I highly recommend Jon as a speaker (and a friend, because he will become one), he will engage his audience through his gentle and purposeful approach. Jon will never need to ask or demand respect from others as it is always given him by the bucket load. Jon is one of the very few genuinely nice people I have had the pleasure to meet."

– Shane Wakeford, Work at Height Consultant​
