Your company / website vision statement / goal:
To provide in-store sales and promotional information on high streets
nationwide on one of the best and widely used websites on the internet.
What you sell / services you offer (brief description of your company):
Wherearethesales.co.uk is an innovative new website which acts as a
central forum for consumers to find all in-store sales and promotions in
shops across
London. The website allows
consumers to take a virtual tour of the high street online, so they can
access
London's shop windows without
fighting through the crowds. It is also an easily accessible medium for
retailers to raise customer awareness of their promotions and entice
people into their shops.
Have you always wanted to run your own business? What were some of your
previous jobs / companies?
I have always wanted to run my own business as you will always put 100%
into every aspect of it and when exciting things happen, they mean so
much more than if you are working elsewhere. My personality suits being
my own boss. I want to run a business where people have the flexibility
of working as hard as they want, if they turn up late, they are not
reprimanded but are expected to put the time in later on. I hate the
pettiness of working in an office, so Wherearethesales.co.uk is run in a
way where I want people to get a lot out from what they put in and
really enjoy working here. Work should be about fun and enjoyable and
all having the same goal. I have previously worked in the financial
world which I enjoyed and also recruitment which I didn’t enjoy as much.
Have you got any qualifications? Please tell us about yourself
academically?
Educated at
Canford
School in
Dorset and
Cardiff
University. 12 GCSE’s, 3 A levels,
BSC Degree.
How / when did the idea of your website / company come about?
Came about in July 2004 when I was analysing how inaccessible high
street promotions are unless you walk down the high street to see them.
Why not use the power of the internet to access these?
If you could give readers of this book one piece of advice when starting
up a business, what would it be?
