Guy Willoughby is the founder and CEO of the HALO Trust which specialises in the removal of war debris. The Dumfries-based Trust has over 7,500 staff working overseas, clearing landmines and unexploded bombs as an act of charity on behalf of some of the most impoverished communities around the world.

By late 2008, HALO had cleared over 10 million items of larger calibre ordnance, clearing over 5,000 minefields and destroying over fifty million bullets.
HALO’s mission statement is simple ‘Getting mines out of the ground, now’.

Since founding HALO in 1988, Guy’s actions have saved countless thousands of people from either violent deaths or severe disability.
