A man has shared his remarkable story of going from being homeless seven years ago to running a company that employs 18 people. Martin O'Rourke from Bristol found himself sleeping rough after his relationship broke down and he lost his job.
Martin and his now wife would sleep in their car before spending six months staying in a tent that they would pitch in quiet areas around the outskirts of Bristol.
"It was a really upsetting time," the 32-year-old said in quotes reported by Bristol Live. "It rained once and, as the tent was very old, it was not waterproof so we just woke up in a puddle. It was not great at all.
