Even if people don't get what they hoped for, opportunities will still be out there - you just have to go out and find them.”

After a horrible time being bullied at school - with nasty graffiti written about him on the toilet cubicle walls - Oliver's mental health issues led to him leaving school. In hindsight, Oliver has seen the silver linings of leaving school early. He said: “Access to finance has always been tricky as the banks tend to laugh at you being a young MD, but I have constantly found a way.”
