A dad who left school aged 16 with just a couple of GCSEs has opened up about how a chance meeting with the CEO of Tesco has led him to running his own multimillion pound company.
Mike Welch admitted he wasn't particularly academic and struggled to engage with school and after getting his first job as a tyre fitter in Birkenhead at the age of 16, he was inspired to set up his own business from his parent's home, the Liverpool Echo reported.
The soon to be dad-of-three has now swapped Liverpool for Miami and is the CEO of Tirebuyer.com - one of America's biggest online tyre retailers with an estimated turnover of more than $100m.
