This episode of Business Buying Strategies features Neville Wright, an accomplished entrepreneur who shares his journey from starting as a window cleaner to selling his business, Kiddicare, for 70 million pounds cash. Neville discusses the motivations behind his entrepreneurial spirit, influenced by his father's regrets and his own early experiences struggling with job security and poverty.

He narrates how he and his wife turned a small window cleaning endeavor into a venture selling baby products, eventually growing it into a substantial business. Despite facing a severe recession and nearly losing everything, Neville's determination led him to revamp his business model, invest in online sales, and ultimately attract a sale offer from Morrisons.

His story highlights the importance of perseverance, innovation, and the strategic growth of a business from humble beginnings to a multimillion-pound enterprise.
