Tier One CBD Founder Story

I’d like to share with you why I formed Tier One.

Having served for 16 years, I left the military in late 1999 with a long list of injuries and failed surgery that left me with chronic pain 24/7/365. I spent the majority of my career with UKSF and when you can’t physically perform, you know it’s time to leave. This can and did, have a lasting effect on body and mind.


As the years passed, I tried many times to recover physically but it wasn’t to be. Fast forward to 2017 and now classed as disabled by the MoD, this became a definitive moment for me greatly affecting my mind-state. It felt like a ‘full stop’ and left me largely giving up on myself. I was hovering on rock bottom, again.


Then in March 2019, I tried a bottle of CBD oil. What occurred triggered a sequence of events proving for me, a game-changer.

Within 2 days, most of the nagging chronic pains were either gone or had been dialled down. I felt more positive and I now had a bounce in my step. No longer was I reaching for ibuprofen or paracetamol throughout the day and night for respite from pain!


Within 7 days and with a new positive mind state. I joined a gym, which I attended at least 5 times a week up until C19 triggered the lockdown, but almost 12 months! This the first time since being in the military that I had managed to achieve a sustained period of self-improvement. I’ll caveat the last statement by stating that alas, it didn’t address my failed surgery, it’s good but not magic. I manage my expectations of what I can do, but, it is so much more than I did in the intervening 20 or so years.


Now I want CBD oil to do for the 3+ million veteran community, what it did for me, or at least give it a go!


For me, the CBD oil had to be an integrity product at an affordable price. With this in mind, I teamed with an industry-leading company who openly acknowledged their support for UK veterans to achieve this… Tier One CBD then had the green light….

I decided that it was very important to give back from the very start and so I decided to give 10% of all sales to UK military charities to help veterans.

If you have any questions or want to share your own story with me, please feel free to get in touch. I do my best to help veterans wherever I can.
