While it may have appeared a brazen move to some, to those who know the man at the helm of the company, it was very much a measured and deliberate step to take Diaceutics to the next level.

‘To see your son on a slab in a mortuary… His hair was so soft, he looked like he was just sleeping’
In time, David, a maths and physics teacher, and Dara, a credit controller, married and bought a house in Swords. They were content, even though there was a health issue relentlessly yapping at Dara’s heels — she suffered constant nosebleeds. “I come from a family of nose-bleeders,” says Dara. “Living with them as a child was pretty routine. You just wiped your nose on your sleeve and got on with it. However, my dad would lose blood very rapidly, so he was transfusion dependent. He died at 68 from complications of his condition.” The bleeds also made Dara’s two pregnancies more difficult. She would take a container when she was travelling by car in case she had a “blood vomit”. And sometimes she required medical interventions. “I’d end up in hospital having cauterisation of the nose — which, it transpired, was the worst possible solution, as it can cause permanent damage to the septum,” she says.

Ranked: the 50 most powerful people in Plymouth
It turns out 1990s German popsters Snap! were wrong when they proclaimed “I got the power.” But who does have it? Plymouth Live has had a long hard think and come up with a list of 50 city figures that we think wield the most power. The list includes politicians, business bosses – and, in this social media driven age, influencers. Power has, after all, been defined as the ability to direct or influence others. So that is why you will find Instagram and Facebook powerbrokers on the list. But, of course, real might, whether political or economic, still remains in the hands of the traditional political institutions and big businesses, and their leaders, those crown wearers whose heads lie uneasy, dominate here. We have counted them down from 50 to 1, purely on the heft we think each possesses. But what do you think? Let us know if there is someone we have missed, or someone who should be higher up the list. But though power may sometimes stem, as Mao famously put it, … [Read more...] about Ranked: the 50 most powerful people in Plymouth
