In Episode Seven, Baz sits down with James Chantry of Chantry Agricultural Engineers.

James’s story is one of pure graft. No big backing, no safety net , just a £600 van, nothing in the bank, and a decision to give it a go.

From those early days selling potatoes to kids at school, to building a respected agricultural engineering business with a fleet of vans and a serious workload, this is a journey built the hard way. Step by step. Job by job.

We talk about how it all started, the moments where things could have gone either way, and what it really takes to grow something from nothing. James shares the reality behind running a business... the long hours, the pressure, and the responsibility that comes with it.

There’s also a strong thread of local pride running through it all. Supporting farmers, keeping things moving, and being someone people can rely on when it matters most.

But more than anything, this conversation is about building something for yourself.

About backing your own ability.
About taking risks when it counts.
And about earning your reputation the right way.

(And Marshall Steam Rollers play a pretty big part too!)
