In this episode of the 10 Plus Club, where we speak to entrepreneurs who have successfully built and sustained businesses for over a decade, we talk to Tom Hillier, co-founder of the award-winning film production company Shoot The Company.

Founded by Tom and his business partner Henry Wilks, the company began at a time when the idea of online video content was still in its infancy. They were among the first commercial content creators to embrace online platforms—well before it became the norm.

Their early belief in the power of digital storytelling paid off. Today, Shoot The Company works with some of the world’s most recognisable brands, including UEFA, Audi, McDonald’s, and Nespresso.

In this interview, Tom shares how they launched the business, the risks they took by betting on an emerging media format, and how they adapted as the digital landscape evolved. It’s a fascinating look at innovation, creative vision, and building a brand that stands out in a crowded space.

Melanie, like many professionals, wanted more flexibility and control over her working life.

What began as a kitchen-table venture quickly developed into a recognised brand as demand grew and her family expanded alongside it.

In this interview, Melanie shares her journey from small beginnings to running a thriving food business, how she navigated growth, and the key lessons she learned in building a product that resonates with modern home cooks.

This is a great story that ticks so many entrepreneur boxes. 

Lloyd Evans made the move from the corporate world to self employment - which is no mean feat. He then identified a great franchise - TaxAssist - which he started from scratch (from zero clients), then grew the business over a decade, expanding it by buying a neighbouring TaxAssist franchise. He now runs a significant business with around 1000 clients. Because of the recurring fee income the business generates, Lloyd will be in a strong position to sell the business in the future, when he looks to retire. 

It's the perfect business ownership lifecycle - via franchising.

In this episode of the 10 Plus Club, where we talk to business owners and entrepreneurs about making money and growing a successful business for more than 10 years, we talk to the inspirational Cheryl White at Apollo Care Franchise and how she grew her business to a successful multi million pound network. 

Cheryl started off as a district nurse. In fact, her first job in care was a part time weekend job in a nursing home when she was just 14 years of age. She eventually qualified as a nurse before starting her own home care business - which employed around 30 people. 

The business was so successful she could not keep up with the demand placed upon it and she had to do something. Either sell the business or expand the business by franchising the business. 

Cheryl chose the latter. After a bumpy start, she managed to surround herself with the right professional team and today Apollo Care employs around 1000 care staff across the franchise network in 15 locations across the UK. The network is about to expand abroad and is looking to open its first franchise in South Africa. 

Cheryl talks about how she did it and the qualities needed to make her business a success.
