This week on FETE: From Employee to Entrepreneur – Stories to Inspire, host Katy Berrill speaks with Simon Wrenn, a CEO running a £35 million business with over 3,000 employees. But Simon’s story didn’t start in a boardroom, it started in Burger King.

We explore Simon’s raw and real entrepreneurial journey: from cleaning windows to managing large-scale contracts, experiencing business failure, and ultimately becoming CEO of a national company.

Simon shares the highs, the lows, the lessons, and what it really takes to succeed.

In this episode:

  • The myth of needing a grand plan

  • How “boring” industries often bring in the big bucks

  • What makes a great leader (and how to build a team that challenges you)

  • The importance of failure, resilience, and timing

  • How to get started when you have no idea where to begin

    Whether you’re stuck in a job you hate or already dreaming of your next venture, this episode is packed with wisdom, realness, and inspiration.
