Selling Tapes To
Scaling Businesses
My path into business wasn’t linear — and that variety of experience shapes the way we work today.
At 8, I was selling cartoon video tapes from a market stall (because who doesn’t love a Tom & Jerry, classic?) That’s where I first learned the value of negotiation and spotting what people actually want.
I spent 14 years touring internationally as a singer, performing for crowds of over 47,000. That experience built resilience, adaptability, and the ability to engage any audience — skills I now bring to leadership rooms and strategy sessions.
At 24, I launched one of the UK’s top entertainment companies. We scaled fast, worked with major brands and household names, and I eventually exited through a successful sale.
Franklin James Credit Management came next. We built it from the ground up, recovered over £25 million in debt, and sold it online during the first lockdown. Strategy, execution and timing was everything.
