In 2024 his property business generated over £10 million, and he helped 1000s of investors grow their property portfolio’s or launch their own property businesses. The catalyst  for his entrepreneurial journey began at an early age, when losing his Dad at just13 years old. He wanted to ensure his family were looked after and provided for. Coming from financially more challenging beginnings, no property contacts, and no property industry knowledge, Jamie went on to grow a portfolio now worth over £9 million. Jamie has a strong passion for personal development, and believes in investing in your own education, and is a testament to the results you can get when combining education with consistency. His passion for development led on to him setting up a property investment education company: Aspire Education and launching a property YouTube channel, that reached 100K subscribers and over 9 million views in 2024. Jamie believes in a value-first approach offering transparent and straight-forward property industry advice to enable people to develop their portfolios and property businesses, creating financial freedom, but more importantly choice.
