A man once told he wasn't "clever enough" to study science is taking a multimillion pound health company global.
When it came to picking A-levels, Liam Spence, now 33, was keen to pursue pharmacy after gaining work experience at a chemist. But his school's career advisor told the then-16-year-old he "wasn't clever enough" to study science, changing his subject choice and the course of his career after he left with "non-existent" qualifications aged 17.
Liam told the ECHO: "I was interested in it, but I probably wasn't academically smart enough to do it. They're probably right, but it's just come full circle because I actually wanted to become a pharmacist and now, hopefully, if everything goes to plan, we're launching an online pharmacy."
