Operating a stocktaking franchise has given me more spare time, which I try to fill with sports as much as possible. I’m often found playing racquet sports like tennis, squash, or padel, or watching football and cricket matches. I keep myself busy socially, frequenting bars and restaurants (while discreetly assessing their stock practices!), enjoying walks with my wife (and our new baby), or spending time in the garden.

The demand for the services as a Stocktaker is generally high, depending on your location, so concerns about starting a business with no client base should be relatively low. There’s enormous potential to grow your business to the size you desire, and the flexibility is unparalleled compared to other careers. Being self-employed has been an incredible journey for me, offering various advantages over traditional employment.
