My story
My first van was second-hand and broke down on the M1 on day two. I sat on the hard shoulder and decided I'd never quit.
Young people hear plenty about influencers and very little about the people who quietly build real businesses. I'd like to change that.
Reputation is the only asset you can't buy back.
