From rock bottom to entrepreneur
Available for over a year
Manny Athwal said the turning point in his life was finding himself crying in Shrewsbury train station after being stranded and having to sleep there. Hitting rock bottom inspired Manny to find the inner strength to teach himself coding and embark on a journey that resulted in founding the School of Coding - a business worth many millions. Now he's been named among the UK's 50 most ambitious business leaders by Lloyds Banking Group and The Times for the second time. Photo credit: Manny Athwal
