Leaders with Ambition is the podcast that delves deep into the careers of some of the UK’s most successful leaders working in professional services firms to discover the secrets behind their success, the challenges they’ve overcome and to find out what are the traits that make a successful leader.

In this episode, Nicky talks to Nick O’Reilly, Chief Operating Officer at Manolete Partners Plc, a respected veteran in the business insolvency space with more than 40 years of experience to share.  

Nick answers a broad range of questions about how he carved out a successful career in the insolvency industry and created a hybrid work model many years before Covid-19. Why? He noticed early on that most business failures occurred Monday-Thursday so he proposed a condensed four-day work week that was a win for him personally and for his employer.

Nick also talks about his career highlights, the challenges and advances he has witnessed over the course of his career and gives his view on the insolvency market and the uptick likely to occur among business insolvency cases as pandemic-related government protections ease.
