Derek lives near Southport in north west
England with his wife Gwen. They share their home with
their two dogs, Jack and Penny, and two cats, Mindy and
Toby. Derek's first supernatural experience came as a
child when the spirit of his late grandfather visited
him. When young Derek told his grandmother she was not
surprised as Derek was to learn that she herself was a
medium.
His early career was playing football with teams such
as the legendary Bill Shankly's Liverpool Football Club
and the premier Australian team USC Lion. His psychic
powers were always with him, therefore on his return to
England in the early 1980s he became a full time spirit
medium based at his home city of Liverpool . Over the
past ten years
Derek has achieved international success with his television,
radio and personal appearances across the United Kingdom
, Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand and the U.S.A.
He has conducted telephone consultations for people as
far south as India , Australia and New Zealand . In October
1997 he was invited to take part in a tour of the Middle
East when he appeared at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dubai
, the Brit Club in Abu Dhabi and Hotel Inter-Continental
in the desert location of Al Ain
