David Spencer-Percival grew up in suburban London and left school at 16 feeling he was "done" with education and wanted to go out into the world.
Fast forward nearly three decades and he has turned not one but two recruitment businesses from zero to multi-million pound turnover enterprises in just a year each time. And that's not his only claim to fame. Before entering the corporate world, he worked in fashion, providing clothing to Robbie Williams during his Take That days.
In 2000, when his career in recruitment kicked off, Mr Spencer-Percival, 44, helped found recruiter Huntress and developed it into a business with a turnover of £100m.
'Thrilling and terrifying'
