EP 362 – Richard has a wide career from running and building the family business, to acting as a chairman of a FTSE quoted company, to being an entrepreneur in Wine, Music, Cosmetics, Food Manufacturing, Hedge Funds, and more. To all of these activities he has applied a deeply independent mindset, this entrepreneurial independence is what has grown Oury Clark from a tiny firm in Slough to a unique Top 50 professional firm in the UK.
We recorded this episode sometime back, and it was the final time my sister appeared on the podcast before she died of cancer. I was honoured to record this, and it is a joy to bring her back to life once more in this interview.
