User:James3487/Oliver Morgan (entrepreneur)

Oliver Morgan was born at the end of the 1980’s in surrey, London and has one brother. He attended Royal Russell School from the age of 3 to 17, where a flare for business was apparent from a young age, known at school for selling sweets, drinks and toasted sandwiches at lunchtime. He also had a few successful and unsuccessful ventures ranging from plant growing to the import export of electronics, from the age of 12 through to about 16 which gave him his first real taste of the business world.

Despite doing well at school he decided to leave six form half way through the two year course to set up a small downstream oil company with a very limited amount of capital. Although bootstrapping the operation and having no pervious knowledge of the industry he quickly moved into a high street office and sold over £5 million worth of oil in the first year, he then incorporated the company in 2008, which he still owns and continues to grow. The company now also has a solar division and also trades lubricants and biodiesel along with the usual oils such as diesel and kerosene. Oliver then founded Morgan Jarrett collections in 2009 to collected outstanding debts for other companies (of which there were many in the mist of recession). And at the start of 2010 he co founded Capital Recruitment within the UK recruitment industry, focusing on high end placements mainly at management level, which does also provide part time staff for office work. Oliver also has online ventures such as a comparison site and retail.

Oliver also mentors a few other starts ups and spends time investing a small personal fund in companies listed on the UK AIM stock market, while trying to fit in a weekly game of golf. He’s one of the many young up and coming entrepreneurs to look out for in years to come, but his repeated success both on and offline may give him an edge over many he may be compared to.
