Luke and Richie met at Kenilworth School and have been good friends ever since. After school, they went their separate ways. Luke trained as a plumber, setting up his own business alongside running East Chase Farm, which has been in the family for 5 generations.

Despite their very different paths, they both found themselves at the same crossroads:
