Ian McKnight is a long-time asset management CIO who currently holds a portfolio of roles, including as Chief Investment Officer of Tontine Trust, Senior Adviser of Cartwright, Hineni Capital and Giants Shoulders Capital as well as a series of other roles. He previously was Chief Investment Officer at Royal Mail for over 13 years.    Our conversation starts with Ian's start as an actuary and how he found himself gravitating towards pensions – his affinity for working with people and problem solving made him a natural fit. We discuss some of his core investment beliefs including how to take calculated risks, and use examples of some of the innovative strategies he employed while CIO at Royal Mail. We discuss how government regulation (and attitude to risk) can hamstring investment opportunities and what can be done to avert this. Ian explains Tontine Trust's potential to disrupt the annuity market by offering income for life with better returns. Ian also stressed the importance of networking, mentorship, and entrepreneurial spirit, advocating for a cultural shift in the UK to foster innovation and risk-taking.Series 5 of 2025 is kindly sponsored by Diamond Hill.

Now here's your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy [00:01:00]Podcast. I'm your host, Alan Hall in the Queen city of Charlotte, North Carolina. I've got Yolanda Padron in Texas. Joel Saxon up in Wisconsin and Rosemary Barnes down under in Australia, and it has been a, a really odd Newsweek. There is a slow down happening in wind. Latest news from Ella Wind Power is they're gonna lay off about 60% of their staff in Denmark. They've only have about 90 employees there at the moment. Which is a dramatic reduction of what that company once was. Uh, so they're planning to lay off about 59 of the 90 workers that are still there. Uh, the Danish media is reporting. There's a lot of Danish media reporting on this at the moment. Uh, there's a letter that was put out by Ellen Windpower and it discusses that customers have canceled orders and are moving, uh, their blade production to internal factories. And I, I assume. That's a [00:02:00] GE slash Siemens effort that is happening, uh, that's affecting lm and customers are willing to pay prices that make it possible to run the LM business profitably. Uh, the company has also abandoned all efforts on large blades because I, I assume just because they don't see a future in it for the time being now, everybody is wondering. How GE Renova is involved in this because they still do own LM wind power. It does seem like there's two pieces to LM at the minute. One that serves GE Renova and then the another portion of the company that's just serving outside customers. Uh, so far, if, if you look at what GE Renova paid for the company and what revenue has been brought in, GE Renova has lost about 8.3 billion croner, which is a little over a billion dollars since buying the company in 2017. So it's never really been. Hugely profitable over that time. And remember a few months ago, maybe a month ago now, or two months ago, the CEO of LM [00:03:00] Windpower left the company. Uh, and I now everyone, I'm not sure what the future is for LM Windpower, uh, because it's, it has really dramatically shrunk. It's down to what, like 3000 total employees? I think they were up at one point to a little over when Rosie was there, about 14,000 employees. What has happened? Maybe Rosemary, you should start since you were working there at one point.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, I dunno. It always makes me really sad and there's still a few people that I used to work with that were there when I went to Denmark in May and caught up with a bunch of, um, my old colleagues and most of them had moved on because a lot of firing had already happened by that point. But there were still a few there, but the mood was pretty despondent and I think that they guessed that this was coming. But I just find it really hard to see how with the number, just the pure number of people that are left there. I, I find it really hard to see how they can even support what they've still [00:04:00] got in the field. Um. Let alone like obviously they cut way back on manufacturing. Okay. Cut Way back on developing new products. Okay. But you still do need some capabilities to work through warranty claims and um, you know, and any kind of serial issues. Yeah, I would be worried about things like, um, you know, from time to time you need a new, a new blade or a new set of blades produced. Maybe a lot of them, you know, if you discover an issue, there's a serial defect that doesn't, um, become obvious until 10 years into the turbine's lifetime. You might need to replace a whole bunch of blades and are you gonna be able to, like, what's, what is gonna happen to this huge number of assets that are out there with LM blades on there? Uh, I, yeah, I, I would really like to see some announcements about what they're keeping, you know, what functionality they're planning to keep and what they're planning to excise.  Joel Saxum: But I mean, at the end of the day, if it's, if [00:05:00] the business is not profitable to run that they have no. Legal standing to have to stay open? Rosemary Barnes: No, no, of course not. We all know that there, there's, you know, especially like you go through California, there's all sorts of coast turbines there that nobody knows how to maintain them anymore. Right. And, um, yeah, and, and around there was one in, um, in Texas as well with some weird kind of gearbox. I can't remember what exactly, but yeah, like the company went bankrupt, no one knew what to do with them, so they just, you know, like fell into disrepair and couldn't be used anymore. 'cause if you can't. Operate them safely, then you can't let no one, the government is not gonna let you just, you know, just. Try your luck, operate them until rotors start flying off. You know, like that's not really how it works. So yeah, I do think that like you, you can't just stay silent about, um, what you expect to happen because you know, like maybe I have just done some, a bit of catastrophizing and, you know, finding worst case scenarios, but that is where your mind naturally goes. And the absence of information about what you can expect, [00:06:00] then that's what. People are naturally gonna do what I've just done and just think through, oh, you know, what, what could this mean for me? It might be really bad. So, um, yeah, it is a little bit, a little bit interesting.  Allen Hall: Delamination and bottom line, failures and blades are difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. C-I-C-N-D-T are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their non-destructive test technology penetrates deep to blade materials to find voids and cracks. Traditional inspections, completely. Miss C-I-C-N-D-T Maps. Every critical defect delivers actionable reports and provides support to get your blades. Back in service, so visit cic ndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions. Yolanda, what are asset managers [00:07:00] thinking about the LM changes as they proceed with orders and think about managing their LM Blade fleet over the next couple of years, knowing that LM is getting much smaller Quicker? Yolanda Padron: Yeah, and this all comes at a time when. A lot of projects are reaching the end of the full service agreements that they had with some of these OEMs, right? So you already know that your risk profile is increasing. You already know. I mean, like Rosie, you said worst case scenario, you have a few years left before you don't know what to do with some of the issues that are being presented. Uh, because you don't count with that first line of support that you typically would in this industry. It's really important to be able to get a good mix of the technical and the commercial. Right? We've all seen it, and of course, we're all a little bit biased because we're all engineers, right? So we, to us it makes a lot of sense to go over the engineering route. But the pendulum swung, swung so [00:08:00] far towards the commercial for Ella, the ge, that it just, it. They were always thinking about, or it seemed from an outsider's point of view, right, that they were always thinking about, how can I get the easiest dollar today without really thinking about, okay, five 10 steps in the future, what's going to happen to my business model? Like, will this be sustainable? It did Just, I don't know, it seems to me like just letting go of so many engineers and just going, I know Rosie, you mentioned a couple of podcasts ago about how they just kept on going from like Gen A to Gen B, to Gen C, D, and then it just, without really solving any problems initially. Like, it, it, it was just. It's difficult for me to think that nobody in those leadership positions thought about what was gonna happen in the [00:09:00]future.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. I think it was about day-to-day survival. 'cause I was definitely there like saying, you know, there's too many, um, technical problems that Yeah. When I was saying that a hundred, a hundred of versions of me were all saying that, a lot of us were saying it. Just in the cafeteria amongst ourselves. And a lot of us, uh, you know,

Rory Sutherland reveals a simple truth about branding: your attitude toward a company isn't shaped by its logo or marketing - it's shaped by people. In this clip, Rory shares a Royal Mail insight that changed how he sees branding. After extensive research, they found that people's opinions of Royal Mail depended almost entirely on one thing… Whether they liked their postman. That discovery exposes a deeper truth about marketing and behavioral science: trust is personal, not corporate. Brands live and die through human interaction: not data, algorithms, or slogans. Rory explains why marketers must focus less on communication efficiency and more on emotional connection. The “postman effect” proves that great branding starts with real people doing ordinary things well - every single day. Have you ever loved a brand because of one great experience? Let us know in the comments. Subscribe for more Rory Sutherland insights on behavioral science, branding, and creativity.

Ever wondered what happens when an acquisition doesn't go to plan? In this episode, I speak with Gavin Page, a serial entrepreneur with 28 years in business and a decade of buy-and-build experience. Gavin grew a group of nine companies turning over more than £8 million, but one failed acquisition changed everything. We dive into the reality of scaling through acquisition, from structuring deals and navigating distressed purchases to the unexpected fallout from Royal Mail strikes and rising energy costs. Gavin shares how overleveraging, weak management teams, and unforeseen market changes can bring down even the most carefully structured groups. But this isn't just a cautionary tale. Gavin reveals how he rebuilt after collapse, why he now mentors buyers and sellers to avoid the same pitfalls, and what he's learned about resilience, due diligence, and leadership in high-stakes M&A. If you're considering buying a business or preparing your own exit you'll want to hear this one to the end.   “Trust your gut — my biggest mistake was letting my ego say yes when my instinct said no.” – Gavin Page   You'll hear about: Gavin's first acquisition and how it all began Lessons from buying a £1 distressed company The Royal Mail strikes and Amazon refunds crisis How overleveraging can destroy a profitable group Energy price shocks and their impact on M&A The importance of strong financial due diligence Avoiding personal risk through smart deal structure Leadership, management teams, and accountability Rebuilding purpose after business failure Coaching others to buy and sell wisely   Connect With Gavin Page   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/expertdealmaker/   Transition 360 Partners - https://www.transition360partners.co.uk/   Connect With Julie Wilkinson   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliewilkinson-accounting/ Tik Tok – https://www.tiktok.com/@wasolutions YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUvq6gfNoP_4dfIJulL6C6A Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wilkinsonaccountingsolutions Website - https://wilkinsonaccountingsolutions.co.uk/   Find out more about our brilliant sponsor Acquisition Masters here - https://www.acquisitionmasters.co.uk/   Before you go, don't forget to leave a comment and review if you got something out of this episode!

Episode SummaryJulie Ryder is a UK-based inclusion consultant and founder of an award-winning training business that helps organisations better support deaf employees and customers. In this episode, Julie shares her deeply personal journey of becoming profoundly deaf in her twenties, losing the career she had worked so hard for, and building a new path with purpose. From lip-reading lessons to launching a national consultancy, Julie's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and using lived experience to create change.Key Takeaways:What it feels like to acquire hearing loss mid-careerHow to rebuild identity and confidence after becoming profoundly deafWhy inclusion and accessibility are essential workplace toolsHow Julie launched a national consultancy with just one flyer and a kitchen shelfThe three ingredients that help anyone move forward after a major life shiftMeet Julie RyderJulie Ryder is the founder of a UK-based workplace training consultancy that specialises in deaf awareness and inclusive communication. After becoming profoundly deaf as a young adult, she transitioned out of her career in banking and built one of the UK's most respected deaf awareness training businesses. Julie has trained thousands of professionals across sectors, with clients including the BBC, Royal Mail, and the Houses of Parliament.Meet JulieHow She PivotedJulie Ryder began her career in banking with a clear plan for advancement. But when she became profoundly deaf in her twenties, her world shifted completely. Over several years, her hearing declined so dramatically that even basic communication at work became a challenge. She was moved to lower-level roles, sent farther from home, and eventually left the field altogether, grieving the career and identity she had worked so hard to build.“What was left then was the shell of me, just starting out with a new identity as a newly-deafened person,” shared Julie Ryder on episode 29 of the Rhonda Coleman Wandel podcast.Her turning point came when she volunteered to deliver a deaf awareness training session during a rehabilitation program. That small act sparked something bigger. With a single flyer and a borrowed computer on a kitchen shelf, Julie began offering training in her community. Two decades later, her consultancy is one of the most respected in the UK.Insights for Ambitious WomenJulie's journey is a powerful reminder that we are allowed to begin again—and that adapting to a major life change does not mean giving up ambition. She speaks with honesty about grief, mental health, and the long road to confidence. Her work shows how lived experience can be a source of credibility and impact.“If you've got personal commitment, support, and the opportunity, you can thrive,” encouraged Julie Ryder on the RCW podcastJulie also reflects on how her deafness influenced her parenting, making her more intentional, communicative, and open with her children. Her message is clear: when life shifts direction, you're allowed to shift with it and you can still build something extraordinary.Want More Like This?Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on your favourite platform so you never miss an episode.

Did the "heist of the century" really happen the way the robbers say it did? In the summer of 1963, a gang of masked robbers executed a daring plan to intercept a Royal Mail train carrying millions of pounds in cash. But the robbery itself was just the beginning - what came after - the most wanted men on the run, the jailbreak, the betrayals, fake identities, the surreptitious flights to Latin America and the manhunt across continents - the audacity of it all captured the public's imagination for decades.Joining Dan is the author of 'The Great Train Robbery: Crime of the Century', Nick Russell-Pavier, who recounts the story of the robbery itself, as well as Colin Mackenzie, who secured one of the scoops of the century when he tracked down train robber Ronnie Biggs in Brazil.Produced by Mariana Des Forges, edited and sound designed by Dougal Patmore.Join Dan and the team for a special LIVE recording of Dan Snow's History Hit on Friday, 12th September 2025!

Here's the rational for Inclusive Leadership - people are the backbone of organisational effectiveness. Scientific research shows that our hard-wired survival instincts can hinder our ability to lead and collaborate effectively in teams. By becoming aware of these instincts in ourselves and others, we can help each other succeed and perform better. Alex Draper's DX Learning provides the platform, tools, and capabilities for leaders and their teams to thrive in today's workforce.Link to Alex's business page: https://www.dx-learning.com/Summary of the PodcastIntroductions and backgroundKevin, Alex, and Graham introduce themselves and discuss their backgrounds, including their experiences with technology and leadership training at large organizations like Royal Mail.Inclusive leadership and the CARE frameworkAlex explains his "CARE" framework for inclusive leadership, which focuses on providing Clarity, Autonomy, building Relationships, and ensuring Equity. He emphasizes the importance of adapting leadership styles to the unique needs of each team member.Challenges facing C-suite leadersThe group discusses how C-suite executives often lack awareness of the full scope of issues facing their organizations, and can struggle with imposter syndrome and lack of confidence in their leadership abilities. Alex suggests this is a key area where leadership training can have a big impact.Generational differences and communication preferencesThe conversation explores how different generations, especially younger workers, have varying communication preferences and comfort levels with technology. Alex advocates for leaders to adapt their styles to effectively engage all team members.Practical steps for improving leadershipAlex provides specific recommendations for leaders to improve in the next 100 days, including simplifying communication, actively building relationships by asking thoughtful questions, and regularly reflecting on their own leadership behaviors.Closing thoughts and key takeawaysAlex shares a few final insights, including the origins of Chicago's "Windy City" nickname and the importance of leaders being humble and focused on being human, rather than trying to be the smartest person in the room.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled ten years ago to help business owners and marketers market to affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Sylvia Lerch about her book, Grasp the Nettle. Set in a remote district of Western Australia in the 1920s, an era which outlawed suicide, an unidentified body has been found and police are treating the death as suspicious. The story presents a chance for strangers (the reader) to peruse the very private diaries of the protagonists. Intriguingly, this is like peeping through the coin slot of a piggy bank to count the wealth inside. Elsie has married Tom in an arrangement brokered by her brother. Tom's job is delivering the Royal Mail, and it takes him away from home for weeks at a time. Vivacious, imaginative young Elsie must entertain herself in their isolated, unsophisticated bush hut. Married women were not allowed to be financially independent. Grasp the Nettle is not a fairytale ‘lived happily ever after' romance, but a lode of accurate historical data balanced by details of underlined moral standards of life before the advent of reliable contraceptives, and acknowledgement of gender diversity. In those harsh times, things that are commonplace for us today were yet to be invented: like mobile phones, internet communications, and GPS. There were not even engineered roads through country districts in this vast nation, Australia. Grasp the Nettle poses the question: how did people cope with life's challenges?
