From Prison.
To Purpose.
Sentenced. Released. Rebuilt. A mission to help others make the transition. This is what the road actually looked like, told honestly.
Jordan Dixon. A young man from Peckham who went to prison and came out determined to build something from nothing. No handbook. No map. No one rolling out a red carpet. Just a quiet determination that this chapter would not be the last one. Since release he has set up multiple ventures, delivered mentoring programmes for councils, and built a community that shows people their past does not own them.
MTT24 was born from that experience. It was not easy. Warehouse jobs, kitchen jobs, doing whatever it took while building the vision on the side. But every step forward proved the same thing: if you are willing to graft and stay committed, the transition is possible. MTT24 exists so nobody has to figure that out alone.
Prison: where the real story starts
Five different prisons. It was not easy. But it built a strength and a clarity that nothing else could have. What felt like the end turned out to be the beginning.
Released and ready to build
Released on licence with nothing but a vision. No shortcuts, no handouts. Warehouse jobs, kitchen jobs, grafting and doing what needed to be done while building something bigger on the side. The transition does not happen overnight. It takes patience, discipline, and showing up every single day.
Make The Transition 24 Ltd is born
Built what did not exist when it was needed most. MTT24 delivers a 12-week mentoring programme commissioned by councils, runs community sports sessions, a NEET programme, one-to-one support for young people in secure units, and PE lessons in primary schools. Ran a summer camp on the Cowley Estate in Brixton. Not just helping people out of the system, but mentoring youth and building stronger communities.
NAB Events: Networking and Building
Organised networking events and business workshops to help small businesses connect and build real relationships with each other. NAB Events created spaces where entrepreneurs could meet, share ideas, and grow together.
NAB Punch: from idea to six shops
Created a rum punch recipe and grew it from a kitchen to six shop shelves across South East London. NAB Punch can be ordered for special occasions. From an idea to a real product on the shelf. Proof that the hustle is real.
Licence finished: the transition is complete
Licence done. Businesses running properly, registered, insured, tax returns filed. A community being served. The past does not own the future. This is what making the transition looks like.
"When I came out of prison I thought it was the end. But it was the start. I have had to graft and do things I did not want to do, from warehouse jobs to kitchen jobs, while slowly building things from nothing. It has not been easy but every step taught me something. MTT24 exists because nobody should have to make that transition alone."Jordan Dixon, Founder, Make The Transition 24 Ltd
