So because we employ 1.2 million people in this sector in the UK, it's worth over 100 billion in GDP.

And so we know it's a critically important one.

And interestingly, there are 125,000 service providers in this sector, according to the Office of National Statistics.

So starting one was an interesting one because there was 125,000 other people doing what you were doing.

I did four years with Rollrite and I was an ops director when I was 24.

I had a team of 250 people under me at that stage.

I was working hard and then we got bought out by a big business and I did two years for that big business.

Didn't like the big business mentality.

It wasn't for me.

I'd gone from being the king of this very small castle to being nobody in the big business.

Yes.

So when I was 27, it's literally true.

I went home to my wife one day and I said, I'm going to leave.

I'm going to start my own business.

She wasn't entirely on board with the idea to leave a well-paid job.

We just got a mortgage.

We didn't have kids yet at that stage.

She was working as well, yeah.

We were sort of starting to plan the rest of our life really at that stage.

And yeah, no, I literally just gave my three months notice and I started Pareto from my bedroom in August 2014.
