Name shop: Volt BMX
Location: London, England
Years in business: 9
Employees: Just me and some friends help sometimes!
Did you ever go to school to learn how to run a (BMX) business or did you just 'send it'?
Volt BMX: No, I worked in an other shop for many years, I think if anyone is wise enough to go to business school they wouldn't be doing BMX related business!
Were your BMX industry contacts already made before you started your shop, or did you meet more people along the way?
Volt BMX: Already had most contacts, met some along the way.
Who are some of the people that helped out in the beginning, setting up the BMX shop?
Volt BMX: Many people helped out set up, and it was quite an epic set up. The place was empty for 17 years before we moved in, it was a mess. We had a new roof put on and the whole interior was built from scratch. Jimmy Rushmore and Glenn Robson pretty much built the wood stuff, shelves
