Stuart is a salesman and an entrepreneur, through and through. His first venture was in primary school, selling burned CDs to his friends. As a teenager, he printed his own t-shirts and sold them at music festivals. Then, following his degree, he established his first "grown up" business, selling alternative investment products to sophisticated investors and HNWIs. In fact, there has rarely been a time in his life when he hasn't been running a business.
Stuart's strength lies in his ability to communicate; whether he's speaking directly to customers, or training sales staff, he is always able to get the message across.
