Meet the Progressive Trainers

They came to us as students.
Now they teach what changed their lives

Every trainer at Progressive Property went through our courses first. They weren't hired to present, they're here because they built real results using what we teach, and couldn't stop talking about it.

Creative strategies

2003 - started investing

Started his property journey with ambition but no guidance. Without the right strategy or knowledge, he fell into £135,000 of debt, not from bad luck, but from doing it the wrong way.

2013 - joined Progressive

One decision changed everything. Kevin went through Progressive Property's training and mastered no-money-down investing techniques. The same strategies he'd been missing for a decade became the foundation for everything that followed.

Today - trainer & investor

Now one of the UK's leading experts in creative property investment, Kevin trains at Progressive because he knows exactly what it feels like to be in the room before everything clicks. He teaches what he wished he'd known in 2003.

Joint ventures

BRRR
Finance raising

Before 2015 - corporate HR

Toni followed the traditional path, degree, then a corporate HR career. Secure on paper, but not where she wanted to end up. Like most people, she didn't know there was another way until she found one.

2015 - attended Progressive seminar

Attended a property training seminar and everything shifted. Together with her husband Chris, she put the strategies to work, raising millions in joint venture finance and building a multi-million pound portfolio from a standing start.

Age 33 - left corporate life for good

By 33 she'd replaced her salary entirely and walked away from HR. Now a trainer, mentor, public speaker, and host of her own podcast, Talks with Toni, she helps others find the same route out she discovered in 2015.

Wendy Brumwell

Developer · Certified coach · Figure skating coach · Author

Wendy Brumwell
Commercial conversions
Self-build
Planning gain
HMOs & flips

Before 2013 - corporate career & sports coaching

Wendy came from a corporate background and a parallel life as a professional figure skating coach, combining competitive discipline and motivational mindset long before she ever bought a building.

2013 - attended Progressive networking event

A Progressive networking event introduced Wendy to the strategies and the community. She teamed up with her husband Ross, co-founded Solution Property, and started building a portfolio focused on commercial conversions and planning gain, projects most beginners avoid.

Today - developer, coach & trainer

Now a published author, certified coach, and Progressive's commercial conversions trainer. She and Ross live in their own self-built home, a project that started as a goal and became a reality through the same principles she teaches.

Richard Stone

Builder · Chartered construction manager · TEDx speaker · Non-exec

Richard Stone
Construction management
Project delivery
Build safety
Deal sourcing

30+ years in construction

Richard spent over three decades in construction, from building sites to senior management and board level. He had deep technical expertise, but no portfolio and no idea how to turn his knowledge into a property business.

Attended Progressive's MSOPI

MSOPI gave Richard what 30 years in the industry hadn't, how to raise money, find clients, and package his expertise as a business. He also spotted something nobody else was addressing: investors were learning deal strategies but had no idea how to manage construction safely or profitably.

Today - UK's leading construction trainer

Richard filled the gap he found and built a reputation as the go-to voice on construction for property investors. TEDx speaker, chartered construction manager, Progressive trainer, and trusted non-exec, his no-nonsense approach has made him one of the most respected voices in the industry.
