"As long as you have the drive and determination, you will get where you want to be."

Name: George Frost

When at CHS: 2010 - 2015

Current Role: Haulage Company CEO

Route after CHS: 

I left school in 2015 and did not sit any exams. In fact I never really did very well in school and struggled. Mr Franklin, who was my head of year, believed in me though.

What does your current role entail? 

Despite not sitting any exams or doing well at school, at the age of 22 I am now the proud CEO of two international haulage companies: G.Frost & Daughter and G&L Frost Ltd. Although I have a lot of stress, I have achieved my dream. I employ a number of people and run everything myself on a business I started up with just £1000 that I managed to save. The company now owns and runs a range of haulage vehicles.

What advice would you give to your younger self? 

Of course education is important but I can show the students who don’t get the results they wanted or needed that anything is possible, whether you’re an A* student or can’t read or write properly like me. As long as you have the drive and determination, you will get where you want to be.
