1) How would you describe yourself? Tell us about yourself.
I am a determined and motivated individual with high ambitions and goals which I always aim to achieve. I am a young entrepreneur, aged 17 with several businesses covering the design, business services, retail and support sectors. I work with some incredible people and KentLedger International, I believe, is the one to watch out for in terms of businesses you’ll hear about this year.
2) What do you consider to be your greatest strengths?
Without a doubt from my background and success, entrepreneurial instinct and business acumen would be my greatest strengths. These have been demonstrated exceptionally through my success over the past year in the business sector as well as my interview for the Young Apprentice 2011. I wouldn’t class my age as a strength as anything is achievable at any age, but it certainly helps when people want to support ‘young entrepreneurs’. For me, my most important strength would be the ability to communicate and expand my horizons effectively, through this I’ve gained some amazing contracts, met incredible people and worked on scales never before seen as possible for me.
3) What do you hope to achieve with KentLedger Design and other businesses you’re involved in?
KentLedger is where I concentrate the most in terms of business. This year, I hope to see a large increase in projects, clients and contracts received as well as an international taking on branding and marketing for the name itself as it continues to expand into an international group. This year will see KentLedger Design bring on a new array of design services as well as many completed design pieces being seen in the public eye across the UK with contracts for big names. Other businesses including a Bike retail shop will launch soon and Freeroamin which is in development will bring a new way to find your local restaurants.
4) Do you have a role model? If any who & why?
Most people my age would say Alan Sugar or Richard Branson but I don’t have a specific role model. I feel I don’t need a role model in order to succeed because I want to be completely unique and individual in how I go about doing things.
