about it and deemed it ‘inappropriate’ Amo had to shut down immediately His next opportunities came during the year he spent abroad in Italy as part of his French and Italian course at Oxford He had a lot of free time on his hands, so he set up a website offering translation services with a friend, Jos Shepherd Although they didn’t make much money, the business gave both an insight into working
