'I found out I had dyslexia - at 50"

A MAN had no idea he had dyslexia until he reached his fifties. Mark Ackrell says he just thought he “wasn’t very good at reports” – and now he has completed a professional diploma.

The 52-year-old is the Corporate Health and Safety Officer at Livewell Southwest, making him responsible for legal compliance within the organisation’s buildings and making sure staff members are safe in their workplace, which includes managing the devices used by those who are lone working.
