Martin and Suzanne are joined by Paul Atkinson - Business Founder, Board Advisor and Partner with Par Equity. They reflect on some of the main challenges of 2020 (and the importance of collaboration), new emerging strategies and actions to drive growth.

Paul Atkinson: Paul is an entrepreneur and serial angel investor. Paul has a substantial track record of building value for companies in the technology and services sector and taking them to a successful exit. Paul had started three previous businesses: Head Resourcing, which was founded in 2001 (2017 turnover - £65 million); Direct Resources, which was acquired by NASDAQ listed iGate Corporation in 1999; and RecruitmentScotland.com, which was acquired by another NASDAQ listed business, TMP Worldwide, in 2000. Paul has a BSc in Physics from Manchester University and is the Visiting Professor at Napier University Business School.
