1. What did you do before you started your business?
For last 7 years I have been self-employed. Since the beginning of my self-employment I was running a driving school in Aberdeen. I always wanted to start a business. It was always my ambition and my personal aim. Running the driving school for 7 years has given me a lot of experience when it comes to running own business. When I noticed the market niche I decided to start my own company Master Steam.
2. What drew you towards your field of business?
