Roheel Ahmad is the co-founder of Forsythe Barnes, a recruitment company, but not just any recruitment company. The business has been listed on the FT250 Fastest Growing Business list for three years running.

In under 8 years, it’s grown from zero to almost £100m in revenue, has a team of 80 and has recently opened an office in New York with plans for LA and Dubai.

And they’re just getting started.

During the conversation, Roheel shared the 7 key ingredients that make up the secret sauce of his business success. Some of the highlights include.

  • How to disrupt an entire industry by embracing digital content and simply doing things differently to the way they've been done for decades.
  • The vital importance of relentless ambition and reminding your team about it regularly 
  • Creating a meritocracy where, if you're good enough, you're old enough.

Towards the end, Roheel shares a thought that most entrepreneurs will relate to. It’s about using his business as a platform to see discover what he’s truly capable of - a platform for achieving his full potential.

Our conversation is full of practical ideas and real-life experiences that will be so helpful if you’re building a business.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Roheel Ahmad
