1. What did you do before you started your business?

For last 7 years I have been self-employed. Since the beginning of my self-employment I was running a driving school in Aberdeen. I always wanted to start a business. It was always my ambition and my personal aim. Running the driving school for 7 years has given me a lot of experience when it comes to running own business. When I noticed the market niche I decided to start my own company Master Steam.

2. What drew you towards your field of business?

My reason for starting a business is the will to take advantage of a noticed market niche in Aberdeen, to introduce an innovative service based on the use of modern, environment-friendly machines and to introduce services targeting a wide group of customers.

4. How has Elevator and Business Gateway helped you and your business on its journey?

Their help is invaluable. I could always ask for anything and always got the answer. Thank you for that! They also offer business workshops which were very helpful.

In the first week of business activities I was very surprised when the phone rang from the first customer and I totally forgot what  the price list is. I couldn`t believe that someone wants to use the service of my company. That was so funny!

Master Steam provide quite new services in Aberdeen so we need little more time to  increase our client base. We are a dynamic company  and gaining the leading position on the regional market.
