'From bar work to building a £50 million business' - Jordan Brompton, Myenergi

This week I speak to the incredible Jordan Brompton. She is living proof that hard work, raw talent and ambition can take you all the way. Regardless of your socio-economical background, others' opinions and poor academia, you can still make it to the top. Jordan grew up in a loving home in Grimsby with two supportive parents who had to work incredibly hard to provide for the family, but she never felt like she lacked anything. Having left school with few qualifications and without a plan in place, Jordan tried her hands at a number of different jobs. From hairdressing to glass collecting in the local pub and using her talent for dance to podium dance. She eventually started working in an admin position for a man called Lee who introduced her to the world of renewables and fuelled a passion she didn't even know she had. A few years later and one fateful phone call they would end up as business partners. I won't spoil the story as it really is a good one but fast forward over a decade and they have built a business that generates over £50 million a year in the energy space and Jordan is a role model to thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs. She discusses her natural confidence, relationship building skills and street smart which she harnessed to create an empire. Fired up by her desire to push herself beyond what she or anyone else expected she could achieve, she has reached dizzying heights. Despite all her success and the respect others have for her in the business world, she is still just 'Jordie from the block'. Humble, vivacious and real.
