What have been your biggest challenges? How did you overcome them?

To date my biggest challenge has been: informing the right people about truck advertising. Usually once they know about it they like to explore it as an option.

What have been your greatest successes?

Definitely obtaining my first nationwide advertising contract recently with an online tool retailer based in London.

If it’s not that, then it’s having the opportunity of guidance and mentoring from a few well-known entrepreneurs from Derby.
