Business Enterprise Award


Recently Mungo Finlayson, the founder and managing director of Scuba Duba Dive picked up an award for Business Enterprise in his home town of Banchory.  Scuba Duba Dive isn't the first business that Mungo has run from Banchory.  During his early days of secondary school Mungo ran a mobile phone accessory business.  Mainly importing accessories from China and Hong Kong then selling them on either via a online market place or to his wide database of wholesale clients.  Mungo had a niche at being able to find accessories which weren't yet for sale in the United Kingdom and importing them before any other sellers.  Before exams Mungo's trading business ceased trading due to the amount of time it was taking up.

After exams Mungo started another business, this time it was a partnership with three friends. The partnership specialised in designing and hosting websites.  ReplicaHost was run successfully for 5 years but it became a joint decision not to renew any of the contracts due to everyone going their separate ways.  At the end of the 5 years each partner came away with a profit.  Hopefully we will be seeing some more awards soon for Mungo and Scuba Duba Dive.
