James Jordan's story
Can you briefly share your professional journey?
My professional journey has been both diverse and fulfilling. I began my career in sales and business development, which allowed me to work across various industries, from automotive services to recruitment. Each role taught me valuable lessons about driving revenue, building strategic partnerships, and leading teams. My passion for making a difference led me to establish the Set Them Up Foundation, where I now focus on providing financial education to children to help break the cycle of poverty.

Did your career turn out just the way you wanted it to?
While my career has taken some unexpected turns, I believe everything happens for a reason. I didn’t initially envision myself leading a non-profit organization, but my experiences with financial challenges in my own life steered me in this direction. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had and how they’ve shaped my path, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on others.

What impact has your educational background had on your professional activities?
My education provided me with a strong foundation in critical thinking and problem-solving, which has been invaluable throughout my career. Although I didn’t study financial literacy formally, the skills I gained during my schooling have helped me navigate the complexities of running a business and leading an organization. My experiences have reinforced the importance of continuous learning, which I’ve incorporated into the programs we offer at the foundation.

You have had a varied career to date. Explain some of your proudest achievements.
One of my proudest achievements is the launch and growth of the Set Them Up Foundation. Seeing the positive impact we’ve made on children’s lives has been incredibly rewarding. Another significant achievement was during my time with Auto Panache, where I led a team that achieved a turnover of £250,000 in the first year. These accomplishments have reinforced my belief in the power of perseverance and innovative thinking.
