Today’s guest, joining us today on the Join Up Dots podcast interview, is a chap who knows how to scale a business.   From the UK, but running away from sheep, sheep and more sheep. Yes, he is originally from New Zealand but now calls the home of warm beer, ultimate football failure, and Ant & Dec his home. He is a Business Scaling Strategist and accomplished leader with SME, mid-sized and FTSE 250 company experience.
