Have you always wanted to run your own business? What were some of your previous jobs/companies?

Working for someone else and the idea of a 9-5 job isn’t really for me, so yes I have always wanted to run my own company. I worked for and ran our family run removal and storage company for 17 years. When we sold the company I returned to college to focus on web design as I had the idea but not yet the skills to bring helpiammoving to life.

How / when did the idea of your website / company come about?

The idea behind helpiammoving came to me whilst driving a removal lorry down the A1. When I reached a lorry park for an overnight stay I committed my vision to paper. I didn’t know how to build a web site but I have always believed that an idea is something that you cannot be taught, but anything else you can learn.

If you could give readers of this book one piece of advice when starting up a business, what would it be?

If you have a dream and passion don’t let anything get in your way. Start small and gain as much information and advice from people as possible. Learn from everyone you meet even if you don’t realise that it is relevant at the time. If something doesn’t work, understand why, adapt and try again.

Who are your role models / mentors and why?

I have been lucky enough to meet many people who have given me words of wisdom and hopefully will meet many more, so everyone and anyone. You have to be willing to listen and you will be surprised what you can hear.
