The 39-year-old now leads five multi-million businesses in the United Kingdom. He acquired the bank with a sum of £450,000 (N224,807,905.44).
Becoming successful was not an easy sail for Deering as making ends meet became a herculean task for him after he was refused the loan.
He recalled:
“Without the money, I spent four months cold calling people from the floor of a small office because I couldn’t even afford a desk and a chair. Those early months were so difficult, not knowing if I was going to be able to make it work and not knowing if I’d be able to pay my bills.”
Deering plans to turn the building of the bank into a mixed retail and residential unit.
