Guy Rigby shares his insights in The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Building and Selling a Business - JUST OUT!

We are delighted to be associated with From Vision to Exit, authored by Guy Rigby, Head of Entrepreneurs at Smith & Williamson. Guy’s book features extensive commentary from David Molian, Director of the Business Growth & Development Programme [BGP], as well as case studies of businesses with Cranfield connections, such as Moonpig. Many of the key themes and lessons learned on BGP are emphasised in From Vision to Exit, which charts the entrepreneur’s journey from start-up through to sale and life after exit.
