“Im absolutely stoked, 11 months ago my World Class funding ended and I didn’t know what to do. I had nothing and no where to turn. Literally overninght I came up with a plan and turned entrepreneur launching my own business which is now the largest daily deals site in the Isle of man, I secured the continuing support of my awesome sponsors, I negotiated a deal with the Dutch Snowbaord Cross Team to allow me to train with them and now I’m back on course for an Olympic medal – all this while running my business on a day to day basis.”
These results mean Zoe is currently ranking no 5 in the World.
