Led by Simon Kidney, currently undertaking his Doctorate in Business Administration on entrepreneurial and exit cycle research at Cranfield University, where he has also been invited to teach on the EMBA programme, on scale up and exit.

Simon’s career consists of a music degree, an MBA, 16 years banking and 7 years of entrepreneurial activity, majority being start up, one significant scale up. The resulting portfolio turns over circa £50M with some 250 plus employees.
