The market for remote workplace services is set to grow from $20.1 billion in 2022 to $58.5 billion by 2027, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets, a sector research and growth advisory firm in the United States (US), and Samuel Brooksworth, the CEO and founder of Remoteli is here to seize it.
The savvy London-born Ghanaian businessman is also famous for being on The Apprentice reality TV series on BBC One in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2016.
On the show, he got to sell his ideas and display his sales skills, which he has been honing from a young age.
At university, with his twin brother Andrew, he revitalized the African & Caribbean Society, growing it from just 15 members to over 600 people. They then went on to launch a t-shirt business, JC Range, featuring Christian-themed messages and sold at youth events and major gatherings across the UK.
Their t-shirts did well and the two quickly realized they had a surefire knack for sales. After graduation, Brooksworth joined Enterprise-Rent-A-Car, a UK car rental service where once again he was in the hot seat and his skills put to test.
