A serial entrepreneur, as a 12 year old pupil at Bury Grammar School, Harrison was already importing golf clubs and selling them to Breightmet Golf Club.

After graduating from Manchester University with an honours degree, Harrison went on to sell the business in 2013 having secured a £60,000 investment from Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones on a 2012 episode of Dragons’ Den.
