Getting to know Sam better…

My inspiration is:

My father

Because:

Born in the East End, one of 11 children in poverty, my dad built up his businesses from scratch with just his entrepreneurial flair, and an eye for a deal. He had businesses in construction, retail and quarries. As a young man, I would wait for him to come home, white from the salt in his perspiration, and the day he bought a Bentley will be one of my happiest memories.

I applied to become an Enterprise Superstar because…

Now more than ever the UK needs young fresh business people who have a dream and to have the opportunity of standing before them and say its okay if you don't fit in a pigeonhole, it's healthy to think on a different level to your peers, and it takes courage for them to realise they are looking for more than a 9­-5 existence.
