Episode Guide

In this episode of Edinburgh Business Stories, we’re joined by Josh Dow, Founder of JDS Gardening, a landscaping business that has grown from a teenage hobby into a successful company with a growing team.

Josh shares how he made the decision to choose entrepreneurship over the traditional university route, the lessons he learned from growing a business from the ground up, and why building the right culture has been one of the biggest priorities at JDS. He also talks about hiring based on attitude, working alongside his brother, and the importance of creating a team that enjoys being part of the journey.

This episode is for founders, business owners, and anyone thinking about taking a different path. Josh’s story is a reminder that success doesn’t always come from following the expected route, but from finding something you care about and building it properly.
