‘I get my inspiration from seeing others succeed’

"To inspire myself, I set myself goals and targets to reach and I get such a thrill when I achieve them

For example when I was younger I told myself that within a few years I would own a red BMW; I am currently on my third and my next goal is to own a white Maserati. In my career, there have been many people that have inspired me.

David Stephens, the CEO of Admiral Insurance is an inspiration; not only is he remarkably successful but he is a warm and down-to-earth person. Peter Wood, founder of e-sure and Sheila’s Wheels has also helped me massively in my career.

He had enough belief in my business to invest £30 million and has been a huge support to me ever since.

Although I’m very focused on my business and seeing it succeed, I really appreciate the time I get to relax with my son and partner. I try my best not to work at weekends so I have plenty of time for picnics and bike rides with my family.”
