Mini First Aid Hull & East Riding

12/12/2025

Well today marks the end of an era. This lovely face has graced our website for nearly 7 years. One day over a coffee (and of course cake) Helen told me the previous owner of Mini First Aid was selling the Hull & East Riding franchise and she asked, “Shall we do something crazy and buy it?” Well as you know we did something crazy and 7 years ago this January we entered into a business partnership and bought Hull & East Riding. At the time, she told me she had every intention to retire December 2025 and I didn’t think anything of it, 7 years away, but here it is, in the blink of an eye this is Helen’s official last day with us, tomorrow her retirement begins.

I hardly knew Helen when we went into business together, but I couldn’t have dreamed of a better business partner, we’ve worked through the hard times and believe me there were hard times, weeks after buying MFA, we went into lockdown and everything we knew, customers and venues were gone on our return and we had to adapt our classes. We joked at the time we should have bought a toilet roll business. We have supported each other both business and personally, won awards and seen our business go from strength to strength, adding new courses and venues and teaching thousands of people in a vital life skill.

Mini First Aid Hull and East Riding now have a team of trainers, with incredibly skills in teaching and First Aid, so it is business as usual in the New Year with some wonderful new venues.

Helen, you are going to be missed in the business, but I consider you a friend for life and now you’ll have more time for Coffee. Please join me in wishing Helen a Happy Birthday for tomorrow and a long, happy and healthly retirement.

Today was Helen Perring-Dobbs last class with Mini First Aid Hull & East Riding as she is officially retiring (yes she doesn't look old enough). 6 nearly 7 years ago when we bought Mini First Aid Hull & ER, we didn't realise what we let ourselves in for as weeks after signing our agreement we were into lockdown. When back, every venue, every contact was gone. We started again, building the business together to what is a very successful and enjoyable business. What might surprise everyone was that Helen and I hardly new each other, it was a massive leap of faith for us both. We have never had so much a disagreement I couldn't ask for a better partner, trainer and now a friend for life. She is going to be missed, but the lovely team, Gaynor Travena and Julie Nolan will carry on the legacy. Here are some of our best bits!
