Ron Kirwin

I live in Didsbury, South Manchester with my wife Ann. I retired in 2018. After working for a number of advertising agencies in the 80/90’s, In 1998 I set up a design, Marketing & advertising company with a work colleague servicing B2B clients in the Northwest and Nationwide. We got 20 successful years out of it and at its peak we employed over ten staff. 

Married to Ann for 35yrs, we have two children Jack & Alexandra. Both graduated with honours & working in the creative industry. We now spend our time between the UK & Spain where we have a second home.

Since retiring 6yrs ago I started illustrating famous football goals & my website, www.thatgoal.co.uk sells my prints worldwide, and keeps me off the streets!
