James Doyle from Glasgow is no stranger to competition. He says: “all my days I’ve always competed from playing football at a young age, through to running marathons or half marathons on a weekly basis.”

James was also Scottish Jet ski champion and raced in the national races throughout the UK a keen motocross racer, mountain biker and also spent time in Thailand training in Thai boxing and Kitesurfing.

“Being a true competitor has helped no end in business as you are always prepared to work hard and carry on when others are ready to give up. There have been many times in business when it’s like running a marathon when you hit the wall at 20 miles and the only thing that keeps you going is your own determination and will power. Often that can be said for business also, but hard work and determination do pay off for sure and its so much better working towards a goal or a challenging target.”
