Meet Josh, 24, from London. He's an engineer who has set up his own company. Part of our Bitesize world of work series.

For me, the future really is about having fun. It's about creating this business that has a huge impact on the world.
  • Josh started his engineering career when he was 10 years old. He was obsessed with Robot Wars and liked making things

  • At 13 he started working with Chinese manufacturers and doing business with them online. He did his school work for his GCSEs in the day and in the evening he worked on his engineering projects. This experience prepared him to set up his own company, RPD International

  • He credits a lot of his success to the GCSE and A-level Physics and Maths he took at school, which gave him engineering and problem-solving skills. He's also found English really useful as it helps him with communication skills, essential in building a business and working with people across the world. He is now learning Mandarin to communicate with offices in China!
