Proud father Alex was brought up in Boroughbridge and was “supposedly” educated at Boroughbridge High School. Alex’s entrepreneurial skills started at a young age when he launched his own catering business. After selling the business on for a tidy profit Alex realized his love of cars was greater than his love of burgers and started working in the motor trade. After seven successful years working for leading manufactures Alex founded Alexanders and has never looked back since. Alex is a huge fan of formula one and loves nothing more than spending time at home with his family and horses.
Proudest moment: The birth of my son Harvey and winning the NatWest Entrepreneur of the Year
Dream car: “67” GT
Best decision you’ve ever made: Opening Alexanders of course!
Worst decision you’ve ever made: Not opening Alexanders sooner!
Favourite saying: Don’t curse the darkness, light a candle. Courage is the risk you take when you know you must take it, What you can’t monitor, you can’t manage! I don’t want excuses, I want results, One swallow doesn’t make a summer, If you care of your character, your reputation will take care of itself, The best things comes to those who wait, you can't reach for tomorrow, if you have your arms wrapped around yesterday… is that enough?
