I was let go from a rail contracts role in Wales. I drove home that day with no plan, no investment and no safety net. The next morning my partner Abby told me to get up, shower, and start the business I'd always talked about. One thing I've learnt — there are always ways to leverage what's around you. Learning to spot it and use it is one of the only ways you ever build anything from nothing.
I worked out of coffee shops. I signed on at the job centre. And inside three weeks I had teams on site. Under 12 months later WRS spans rail, highways, environmental, civils and landscaping with depots and crews across the UK.
