What's your biggest business success to date?
Choosing to start a business aimed at helping young people. It was a gamble, but I believe it will be my best business success.
Money doesn’t move me, but making a difference does.
What's your biggest business fail?
I thankfully haven’t had anything fail, but the biggest learning point so far has been starting with what I have, and understanding that I must work within my means, with my goal being to building upwards.
Tell us something about yourself.
My passion for business comes from my mother who has owned a shop in Manchester for 25 years - my entire life. I’ve always been inspired by her perseverance, and passion to keep growing, and she’s inspired me to take a leap of faith and believe in myself.
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
I'm a one-of-a-kind type of person - an investment in one that guarantees profit. With my people-focussed attitude, I plan on building an empire in an ethical way, whilst raising up inspiring people along the way.
