In this episode of Business Babble, the team sits down with Stewart Herron from Electricity Asset Services to unpack a raw and honest journey of growth, resilience, and real-world entrepreneurship.

Starting out as a one-man band taking on the jobs nobody else wanted, Stewart shares how he built his business from the ground up into a 180+ strong workforce supporting critical UK infrastructure.

This isn’t a polished success story. It’s the reality behind scaling fast, navigating partnerships that don’t work out, dealing with sleepless nights, and taking big financial risks with no guarantees.

They dive into:

  1. The truth about rapid business growth and the pressure behind it
  2. Why 50/50 partnerships can hold you back
  3. The reality of dealing with banks, funding, and cash flow stress
  4. Building a team culture that actually works at scale
  5. Investing in young people and creating long-term impact
  6. Why success isn’t about money, but about legacy

A powerful episode on resilience, leadership, and what it really takes to build something meaningful.
