Jamie Fraser £100,000 Entrepreneur Grant
Jamie Fraser is the Founder & CEO of InterEx Group; a recruitment company worth £75 million and he is offering £100,000 in funding to support budding entrepreneurs with an opportunity to fulfil their dreams…
We are thrilled to announce that Jamie has partnered with Portobello Business Centre and Morley College London to launch a £100,000 fund to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs – exclusively available to students of Morley College London across all three campuses: North Kensington, Waterloo and Chelsea.
At just 28 years old, Jamie is now an award-winning businessman, and the founder of InterEx Group, with over 100 employees across London, Amsterdam and Miami.
Despite this incredible success, it hasn’t always been that way for Jamie; he didn’t have the best start in life. Among other barriers, he left school with four GCSEs, was written off by his teachers, was constantly in trouble and could have easily taken a different path that could have led him in the opposite direction to where he is now. It’s all about the decisions you make today that shape your future.
“Literally anything is possible. What stops anyone achieving anything is only down to ourselves and nothing else. I am here to give that opportunity to another young entrepreneur that has a great business idea.”
