Jonathan Brigain is an incredibly talented serial entrepreneur Who understands business better than anyone else. He sees what others don't and this foresight gives him the Midas touch.

Born in Edinburgh's Elsie Inglis hospital in 1971, Jonathan was a smart, happy and adventurous child with no fears. Following TV stunts performed by Evel Knievel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evel_Knievel Jonathan would jump ramps on his Raleigh Budgie bike that were ten times talker than he was. During tennis, golf, football seasons on TV, Jonathan played in the big square outside his house. During the world cup of 1978 Jonathan was out mimicking Platini, Rumenigge, Oscar, Zico, Jardine, Dalglish, and Souness, running around the big square scoring goals against kids twice his age. Jonathan could run, ridiculously fast and by primary 6 he was the fastest runner in his school by a huge margin.

At high School, Jonathan was seen as a science genius, cruising through top level Physics, Chemistry and Biology with 100% after 100% pass marks in every exam.

He joined a running club to get close to his estranged father but as part time dads often do, he had other priorities, focused more on his stepdaughter and started as a coach for the girls team. In spite of his father, without the bus fare and entrance fees, Jonathan would walk and run the 2 hour/6 miles to Meadowbank sports stadium by himself, climb the fence to sneak in and run the track. Jonathan was training for the 1997 Commonwealth games but with no funds or moral or professional support, and no ability to pay club fees, Jonathan lost heart and wasted one of his magnificent talents.

At the age of 16 Jonathan won the Sainsburys retail business challenge beating the colleges and universities to be crowned Young Business Brains of Britain in 1987.

A self made millionaire, he retired from his position as Director of Finance, Operations, HR and IT at the age of just 37.
