Having failed his GCSEs and being told he was nobody, Henri Ghijben defied all the odds to run a successful tree surgery business. Then after he had built the company up to 47 staff, his business went under and he lost his family home. Learning from his mistakes and rebuilding from rock bottom using his four foundational pillars of business, Henri is now on a mission to help others avoid the same mistakes and if they do fail to fail forward.

KEY TAKEAWAY

"Fail forward. Do not be scared of failure. Do not fear failure. Embrace it. Failure is only a negative if you do not learn from it."

ABOUT HENRI GHIJBEN

Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri's first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn't until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth.

Failure is only negative if you don't learn from it.

Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
