Meet Our CEO
Joseph McCauley
Background
I grew up in Huddersfield with a strong background in sport, which instilled in me a competitive mindset and an unwavering determination to succeed. From an early age, I developed the belief that if you’re going to do something, you should strive to be the best at it.
While studying at university, I worked part-time in both retail and hospitality. These roles helped me develop strong communication skills, resilience, and the ability to adapt to fast-paced environments. After graduating, I launched a food franchise selling pies, which quickly became a local success. However, despite the business doing well, I felt unfulfilled. There was limited progression, and I knew I wanted more.
That drive for growth led me to explore new opportunities in marketing. I began my career in Leeds, and shortly after, I was fortunate to be part of a major expansion. This experience challenged me to grow both professionally and personally — and ultimately led to the launch of my own company, Motion One International.

What Drives Me
From a young age, I’ve always been motivated by the pursuit of success — not just for myself, but for those around me. My mission is to provide exceptional service to our clients and deliver long-term results that support their business goals. At the same time, I’m passionate about building a culture that offers real career progression.
At Motion One International, our aim is to deliver world-class training that empowers individuals to become confident leaders and long-term business partners. We’re not just creating sales professionals — we’re developing future entrepreneurs.

What Makes a Successful Entrepreneur?
To me, being a successful entrepreneur goes beyond launching new ventures. It’s about mindset, work ethic, and the ability to push forward through challenges with clarity and purpose.
A quote that resonates deeply with me is:
“If you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.” – Thomas Jefferson
When I entered the world of sales, I had no prior experience. But I knew that with the right attitude and consistent effort, I could learn, grow, and succeed. That same mindset now forms the foundation of how I lead my business and my team.
A true entrepreneur is driven, resilient, and constantly striving for growth. They set ambitious goals and remain committed to achieving them, regardless of the setbacks along the way.
