A chartered surveyor turned entrepreneur has used a childhood past time to develop a fitness product which has been tipped for big things.
Tim Worboys has swapped 25 years in the building industry to focus on his creation, an interactive rebound wall which helps keep people fit.
The 50-year-old’s WallJAM business – based at the Business and Technology Centre in Stevenage – has already been shortlisted in The Daily Telegraph Sports Technology Awards in the ‘most promising concept’ category and Tim is confident it will be a success.
Tim, who lives in Kimpton, said: “As a kid, I could have easily failed as an academic, but sport helped me focus and succeed in all areas of my school work. “Unbeknown to me, the hours spent playing with a ball and a wall, built the foundation and set the pathway of my success in adult life. I have no doubt I am not alone in this regard, and these same experiences will apply to a vast number of young students trying to find their feet academically.
“I love the fact I’m able to apply my in-built passion for sport and health to a business that I genuinely believe can make a difference to people’s lives.” For more information about WallJAM call Tim on 020 3411 0818.
