Had the absolute privilege of interviewing a guy today I grew up with who has gone on to live a very interesting life at a young age.

 

Andrew Agnew is the fifth generation of one of Northern Ireland’s biggest businesses — The Henderson Group — a business that is projected to turnover a billion by the end of 2020.

 

But growing up under such an incredible legacy isn’t as straightforward as it may seem from the outside.

 

In this interview, Andy shares the opportunities AND challenges this has led to — especially when it comes to his identity and proving himself.

 

We also chat about:

• The food situation during COVID-19

• What the future of the corner shop looks like

• Burnout and trying to slow down

• How running saved his life

• And his new exciting start-up…

 

Andy was extremely open in the conversation you are about to hear, and I highly recommend listening to it the whole way through.
