Episode 5: Matt Parfitt, Social Entrepreneur


Listen Later

Welcome to "What exactly do you do?", the podcast from Karuna CV. Every fortnight we will be talking to someone to find out more about their job and working life.

In our fifth episode, Rish Baruah meets Matt Parfitt, a social entrepreneur running a cleaning company that helps disadvantaged people get back into work.

We find out how Matt started doing this type of work, and what persuaded him to make the break from the world of work into running his own business. We also discuss whether Matt required any qualifications and technical knowledge, and working hours - do entrepreneurs ever stop working?

We also find out Matt's favourite (and least favourite) parts of the job, and subject him to a quick fire round about modern working life.
