Arron Honzik
Arron Honzik represents one of today's most impressive young entrepreneurial success stories. After being paralyzed from the waist down in a hit and run, Honzik was able to reclaim his ability to walk and went on to found and grow the UK's largest online luxury watch marketplace, Time Trader UK.[1] Philanthropically minded, today Honzik hosts charity fundraisers across Teeside to help the local community.
Injury
In October 2016, Arron Honzik saw things falling apart as he was involved in a road traffic accident and was rushed to James Cook University Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Arron’s spine was broken as the result of a devastating accident, and amid fears that he wouldn’t survive, he was placed in a medically-induced coma to aid his recovery.[2] Less than 12 months later, and with a great deal of determination and intensive physiotherapy, Arron eventually regained his ability to walk.
Career
Arron established Time Trader in 2016 and since then has only grown as a robust team to provide the best luxury watch buying and selling experiences to people. By 2018 it was one of the UK’s most trusted online networks of watch dealers, simplifying the process of locating and securing in-demand watches via Whatsapp Messenger.[3]
Using the 21st-century approach to source the most desired watches within much quicker timeframes, watch dealers nationwide were able to trade pieces without even leaving the office. The following year, Arron also further expanded Time Trader by launching a dedicated eCommerce store that retails pre-owned watches from the most renowned brands in the world such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Richard Mille.[4]
Expansion
In 2019 he opened the doors to its first physical location, offering personal consultations and a discreet retail experience to select clients via an appointment-only boutique within Acklam Hall – a prestigious Grade 1 listed building in Middlesbrough. In response to growing demand, Arron also bolstered his team with the appointment of his cousin, Grant Honzik.[5] With extensive experience as a technician, Grant has rapidly expanded his knowledge of the luxury watch industry and is now a reputable diamond specialist with expert diamond grading skills.
Philanthrophy
Arron is committed to supporting the Middlesbrough community where he was born and raised, and along with his father Ian, is an active fundraiser for the Teesside Family Foundation which aims to improve the quality of life for those in need across the local area.[6]
