In September 2018, Joshua won the UK Disabled Entrepreneurs Award run by the founder of easyJet, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, and Leonard Cheshire. Following the awards, Josh and Sir Stelios then negotiated an investment and brand licence deal into the easy family of brands. In 2019, Josh also won Great British Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

Josh graduated in 2015 from the University West of England (UWE) with a 1st Class Honours degree in Information Technology Management for Business. Josh also received an Honorary Master’s degree in Technology from UWE, awarded for his contribution to inclusivity for students and the wider public.

Josh advocates for greater disability inclusion across the travel industry, mainly the aviation industry, through his roles in global, national and regional advisory groups.
