Bio

Property investor and business owner.

I own a successful tree surgery business in Southampton UK and I also work in property investments.

I built my first business from a one man band working starting with a £10,000 loan and operating from from a rented garage. This transformed to a company employing over 47 staff with a 2 million pound turnover per year.

In 2019, the worst happened and I lost my first business. More importantly, I also lost my family home in the process. I hit rock bottom and it tested my resilience to nearly break point.

The business failed, largely due to not understanding the importance of knowing the numbers and having the right systems in place.

I started again and in 2019 and I am now on this journey again but doing it the right way this time. I have rebuilt the company to a 7 figure business with a strong team of 20.

I recently started 2 other businesses called, Edify SA Ltd which runs serviced accommodation units and Edify Properties ltd to buy and refurbish houses and flats. Finding the best deals and helping people get great returns on their investments.

I have invested a significant amount of time on self learning and now Im starting to get traction on all of my businesses.

I am passionate about sharing my story and the lessons I have learnt, I hope in doing this i could prevent others from hitting rock bottom like I did. I also hope it could help some people understand that they are not alone in their troubles and there are people out there who understand and can offer some guidance.

I have a huge passion for business and am extremely driven and ambitious.

My goal is to create enough success where I can really make a different to my community and offer real help people with mental health illnesses and addiction.
