I started my venture at 24 with a £10,000 loan and grew it to 47 employees at its peak. Originally from Ipswich, I moved to Southampton at 14, and my journey to success hasn’t been without its challenges. I left school without any GCSEs and worked in various industries—customer service, banking, and sales—before taking my father’s advice to start my own business. In this episode, I’ll share how a chance opportunity led me into tree surgery, the ups and downs of managing a growing business, and how the 2008 financial crisis shaped my journey. I’ll also open up about my personal life, including my marriage to Sarah, who has been by my side for 17 years, and my recent move into property investing.
