Jamie is the entrepreneurial force behind WhyBuy. Previously the founder and CEO of Made Television, he scaled the business into the UK’s largest group of City TV stations before its acquisition in 2018. With a sharp eye for scaling businesses and a passion for innovative consumer solutions, Jamie leads WhyBuy with the same energy and ambition.
