Birmingham has long been associated with gritty British entrepreneurship, so it's good to see Andrew Sparrow - who set up niche media firm Lecote Solicitors two years ago - keeping up the tradition and mixing it with stuntmen. He compares the oomph required to set up a firm as 'the same mental barrier which must be overcome when undertaking a physical exploit involving a test of nerve. Whether it be a "wing walk", an expedition to the Arctic Circle or a skydive, they all play host to the same fear which must be surmounted'. He admires genuine entrepreneurs who 'live out their ambition by chancing it all because they believe in their business'. Perhaps Mr Sparrow - pictured sticking his neck out - should have been a stuntsman himself? But he soon dispels any illusions that he is any kind of Evil Knievel: 'Performing a stunt... helps demonstrate the synergy of risk in each activity... and the risk in [Lecote Solicitors] having faith in the Internet legal market is now beginning to pay off.' That'll be the lawyer talking then.
