Inside Tudor May: A Conversation with CEO Lee May and the Leadership Team

1 hour

Steven meets Lee May, the CEO of Tudor May, a prominent construction brand in the UK, and delves into Lee's journey from humble beginnings in the construction industry to leading a successful company projected to generate £52 million in revenue.

Lee shares insights on the importance of discipline, training, and maintaining a strong mindset, drawing parallels between physical fitness and business resilience

Key Takeaways

Regular training and exercise play a crucial role in maintaining discipline and mental resilience, which are essential for handling the pressures of being a CEO and making tough decisions.

Embracing uncomfortable situations, such as intense workouts or ice baths, helps build mental strength and prepares individuals for high-pressure scenarios in business.

Success in the construction industry relies heavily on strong relationships and trust with clients and partners. A focus on honesty and integrity fosters repeat business and long-term partnerships.

The drive to leave a legacy for future generations is a significant motivator. Success is not just about personal wealth but also about creating opportunities and giving back to the community.

BEST MOMENTS

"What I train myself for is to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. I like to put myself through it because it's conditioning."

"As a CEO, you've got to be a risk taker. You have to take risks to grow your business."

"For me, it's not the Lambos, it's not the helicopters. I walk most places... I want to leave behind my legacy."

"If you create a winning culture or a culture, you will win every time."

ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn’t be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.

As a person who has made successes in life, and also made huge cock-ups, I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful, or at least start your pursuit. My ‘Study’ has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception of, successful people - and I know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.

My ‘Study’ coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well-rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
