Luckies

The Luckies story so far, in case you're interested... Hi – I'm Jim and Luckies is my little business. That's me you can see with my silly head poking out of the van above, although it's not quite so big in real life! I've always wanted to run my own business; it's all I can remember wanting to do (apart from drive) since I was a kid. I love the idea of creating something from scratch, something unique and something that wouldn't be there if it wasn't for team Luckies. Inspired by the stuff I was into as a teenager, I went through dozens of business ideas, from hot potato seller to music store/smoothie bar owner (before music retail was dead and smoothie bars were on every corner), but I needed real experience of being at the heart of small enterprise if I was going to be any good at running my own version. After college I spent 8 years serving my apprenticeship at two of the best cool gift suppliers in the business, until I felt I had enough knowledge to have a go myself. In May 2005, aged 29, I took the leap I'd been waiting to take and Luckies was born at a trade show in London.
