Like a patient on the operating table with no pulse, the UK economy is barely growing. Prime Minister, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are desperately banging on the chest of the patient trying to revive it, but they don’t know how to bring it back to life. December figures show that the economy barely grew by just 0.1%. They talk of growth, but where is it going to come from? 10,000 millionaires have quit the UK in the last six months! China’s economy grew by 5% last year. Watch video version - https://youtu.be/FgXuoDMFE3c Retail sales were down in December! I’ve never heard of retail sales falling over Christmas. More inflation is expected as UK borrowing costs and bond yields have risen sharply. The country’s additional borrowing costs will run to £12 billion per annum. Paid by us, taxpayers of course. Governments screw up, we foot the bill. This could mean higher interest rates and higher mortgage costs for all of us at a time, and the Bank of England should be cutting rates. The market has lost confidence in the UK chancellor Rachel Reeves. She is out of her depth and reminds me the person that talks a good game and job interview but in reality hasn’t got a clue when they’ve got the job. Labour have got off to the worst start and any government I’ve never known. They want to give away the Chagos islands to Mauritius, and then lease it back at a cost of £9 billion! I’ve heard of sale and leaseback, but not “give” and leaseback. This will surely be remembered as the Prime Minister’s “Gordon Brown” moment. Gordon Brown was the Labour chancellor who sold off the U.K.’s gold reserves to China at rock bottom prices. Gold has risen by at least 10 times since the ill-fated sell-off. They inexplicably cut the small winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, taxed private school fees, and raised national insurance costs for employers, taxed our farmers and borrowed an additional £145 billion, all of which have made them hugely unpopular. And yet, the FT 100 index, reached a record level today! Apparently they expect interest rates to be cut by 0.25% when the Bank of England meet next month Will the Bank of England hold or cut rates next month? The implications are huge for the country and for the 700,000 borrowers who will come off fixed interest rates this year, as well as the first-time buyers who want to go on the property ladder. Buy to let property investment has become almost unviable, unless you have a large deposit or buying cheap properties up in the north-east. Some good news could be on the horizon for first time buyers as regulators are expected to relax lending rules. However, could this lead to another boom and bust? The massive building firm Taylor Wimpey has reported good profits of over £400 million last year and they built almost 10,000 new homes. Perhaps labours plan to relax planning rules will bring more homes onto the housing market. China What is going on between Labour and China? Why did Rachel Reeves desert her post at the time of the bond crisis last week? What are they given away for China to buy UK bonds? The Chinese government does not give anything without expecting something in return, and they normally bargain very hard. Foreign Secretary, David Lammy is expected to approve a new super embassy for China on the site of the old Royal Mint. Why does any country need a super embassy with hundreds of “diplomats”? Donald Trump could turn the US economy around, but will we get a decent trade deal after labour have alienating themselves from the new president elect? David Lammy, with his personal attacks, labour sending 100 people to America to canvas for Joe Biden during the US elections and now rushing to sign a deal with Mauritius before the presidential inauguration on January 20. Now it appears Labour are getting closer to China. The previous government cooled relations with China over Chinese technology, tensions over Hong Kong and Taiwan, the South China Sea, cyber security and allegations of spying. In summary, the lunatics have taken over the asylum! What does this mean for you? What can we do to cope on a personal level? If you believe we are entering choppy waters and stormy weather, now is the time to batten down the hatches and tighten your belts. This is not the time to purchase an £80,000 car on a lease or buy a fast-food franchise and open up yet another burger bar on the High Street. I’ve seen at least two or three new fast-food outlets or restaurants popping up on the High Street in the last couple of months. They are occupying premises that previous owners of similar businesses who went bust. I’ve talked to some of the business owners, and they are struggling. I walk past their restaurants and see the empty tables. I talk to a lady who opened up to bubble tea outlets and lost all her savings within six months. Her sign is still above the empty shop, which means the landlord has not been able to let the property again. Manage your money and control your spending. Invest wisely. If you’re nearing retirement, I would check with your financial advisor as to where your pension funds are invested. If you are young, I would learn more about AI. AI will kill 300 million jobs worldwide according to a recent report. People already been laid off in the City of London and Wall Street due to the impact of AI. A massive rise in employer national insurance contributions will hardly encourage employers to take on more staff. Worse still, it could lead to redundancies. Could be an easier time for homebuyers, if interest rates fall and the regulators ease the stringent restrictions on mortgage lending. Expect the best but prepare for the worst.

Good morning from London where the FTSE 100 jumped over 100 points as trading got underway on Wednesday. Among the risers was HSBC after the bank posted higher-than-expected second-quarter profit and unveiled a £3 billion share buyback. Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey also gained early on, as a reiterated target to build up to 10,000 homes this year appeared to overshadow a drop in interim profit. Rio Tinto climbed after reporting a 3% improvement in first-half pre-tax earnings and reassuring demand from China was expected to remain robust. GSK fell in the meantime, despite hiking full-year profit guidance following a 13% jump in second-quarter sales. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #hsbc #taylorwimpey #riotinto #gsk #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

London's FTSE 100 rose at the open on Friday as the Labour party swept to victory in the general election. Housebuilders led the charge as Labour vowed to kickstart the development of thousands of additional new homes. Barratt Developments, Vistry Group, Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey were among the top risers, shrugging off a 0.2% decline in house prices in June. The Halifax House Price Index showed a £476 decrease in the average house price to £288,455. Over the past year, prices have risen by 1.6%, with a modest increase of 0.4% since the beginning of 2024. Meanwhile, Shell is expected to write down up to $1 billion in impairment charges after pausing construction of its 820-000-tonne-per-year biofuels facility in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In a second-quarter trading update, the oil major said it expects non-cash post-tax impairments of up to $2 billion, with up to half of that arising from pausing on-site construction of the Rotterdam facility. #proactiveinvestors #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #election2024 #housebuilds #barrat #persimmon #halifax #taylorwimpey #vestrygroup #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

The pair discuss the CMA's announcement that it is investigating whether eight UK housebuilders including Barratt and Taylor Wimpey have been sharing commercially sensitive information that could have affected house prices.

Charlene considers warnings by the IFS that the Chancellor must prove any tax cuts are affordable, and the good news that food price inflation is finally falling. Dan Coatsworth has been chatting to a couple of people who know tech stocks inside out AND backwards – we'll hear from Maneesh Bajaj from Brown Advisory's US Flexible Equity Fund which is invested in most of the Magnificent Seven.

Good morning from London where the FTSE 100 is down once again in early trading, following the US and Asian markets lower. The biggest corporate story so far today is Qatar's sovereign wealth fund launching the sale of nearly half its stake in Barclays Bank. Barclays is under pressure to improve its performance and it appears the Qataris think their money could be put to better use elsewhere. The move has had a predictable effect on Barclays share price, its today's biggest faller so far down by around 3% on the day. The UK's mining giants comprise most of the rest of the bottom ten. Some relatively upbeat news from the high street though as pub chain Marston's are reporting Christmas bookings are well ahead of last year – they're also claiming a jump in full-year sales. The pub operator says that in the year to October total revenue climbed 9.1% to more than £870mln though it wasn't enough to avoid an overall loss for the period. Gold is up to fresh record highs again this morning, as investors start to look beyond today's high interest rate environment. And that's also looking like good news for housebuilders, with Taylor Wimpey the FTSE 100's biggest gainer so far today. That's all for this morning but stay tuned to Proactive throughout the day for all the latest business updates. #ProactiveInvestors #FTSE100 #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Good morning from London where the FTSE 100 has finally broken out of the holding pattern its been since last Thursday, falling below 7,400 points. The index is being weighed down in general by some mixed economic signals coming out of Asia, but also by some notably tough starts to the day for some big-name equities. Paddy Power owner Flutter Entertainment is the biggest faller so far, saying in a Q3 trading update today that it expects full-year earnings - excluding the US market - to be at the bottom of its previously forecast range. Discount retailer B&M also down heavily today despite raising its full-year profit guidance and reporting a 16.1% rise in first half core earnings. They're certainly not the only ones reporting good news and getting hammered for it at the moment. Today's big riser is Auto Trader, its shares are up 6% after some strong interims that showed a 10% increase in group operating profit to more than £160mln. Some rays of sunshine for housebuilders too, with Taylor Wimpey saying it expects to come in at the top-end of expectations for its operating profits although it said the market remains challenging. Surveyors are saying that the pace of house price falls may also be steadying as the end of the year approaches. That's all for this morning. #ProactiveInvestors #FTSE100 #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Some news from the ONS this morning that inflation in the UK remained unchanged month on month in September at 6.7%, with the downward trajectory interrupted by higher fuel prices. Housebuilders have taken the brunt of market reaction to the news, since stubbornly high inflation makes it less likely that the Bank of England can cut interest rates at its next meeting in early November. Barratt, Taylor-Wimpey and Berkely are today's three biggest losers so far. Looking at a few equities now and Premier Inn owner Whitbread jumped early on after hiking its dividend on the back of strong half year revenue and profits. William Hill owner 888 Holdings went the other way, pointing to tougher gambling rules as third quarter revenues took a bit of a knock. And finally, building materials Marshalls is one of today's big risers so far, after it reiterated its full-year guidance. #ProactiveInvestors #FTSE100 #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show! This week, the Steves are talking about investing platforms, bank accounts, acquisitions, and FTSE 100 stocks. There's a lot to talk about. First up, though, it's consumption time. Both Steves have been on the podcast trail this week, so what have they been learning about in their spare time? After that, it's on to Webull – the latest source of free shares. Is it a serious contender for Trading212, or is it just a short-term thing for both of the Steves? Then we're talking about Nationwide and its 8% interest rate. What does Steve W think this shows about the banking sector and is Steve D about to switch his current account? Following that, we're finally getting to some stocks. Growth has been slowing at Halma, according to its latest trading update, but is the sell-off in the stock a buying opportunity for Steve W? One company that has been getting ready to do some buying is Cisco. The network company is getting ready to buy Splunk – what do the Steves think of the deal and is this the start of a new wave of M&A? And we're finishing with Taylor Wimpey. Steve W thinks their dividend policy is interesting and attractive, but Steve D is our construction expert and he's not so sure… Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► What We Consumed This Week:FT Behind The Money - https://www.ft.com/behind-the-moneyRich & Anonymous - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ZGvKpnazrEQ1dFNBmkTWd?si=52ad3a08be3c43ffGS Exchanges - https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/series/goldman-sachs-exchanges/ ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

The UK Investor Magazine Podcast is joined by Alan Green as we delve into this market's key themes and a selection of UK equities.We start by exploring the current rally in equities and whether it is a bear market rally, or something that can be sustained. Markets welcomed the recent instalment from the Fed which sparked a rally, sending the S&P 500 up 10% from the lows and the NASDAQ up 16%.UK house prices rose 11% year-on-year in July as the housing market shrugged off cost-of-living crisis concerns. However, the Nationwide Chief Economist pointed to signs of a softening which hit housebuilding shares heavily yesterday. Today, Taylor Wimpey shares bounced back following a strong first half update. We look at their results and outlook for the second half of the year.Tekcapital released half year results last week following their presentation at the UK Investor Magazine Investor presentation in July. The company is to IPO a number of their portfolio companies in the coming months which could increase their portfolios NAV.We cover the latest update by Kavango Resources on their activities in the Kalahari Copper Belt.

“Alone here in the kitchen, I feel there's something missing, I'd beg for some forgiveness, but begging's not my business.” Do you feel there's something missing in your kitchen, in a similar fashion to 70s and 80s Hit Parade botherers Squeeze? Well, Sam and Dan might be able to help you out with just that, but we don't want to give too much away, you'll just have to find out by listening to Episode 54 of The Dogger Saints Podcast! It's what a former Saints centre-forward who didn't do much else once described as squeaky bum time, so we have all the build-up to Saints' crouch tie away at Dens Park, as #PostSplitMadness begins with the archetypal six-pointer against Dundee. Whilst the gents had a week off because of that fucking Kelty game, there was of course a Saints game on over the weekend, and we go over all the action from Sunday's 2-0 victory for Saints Women over Stirling University in the final home game of the season at the Riverside. Features, is it? Features you want? Well you're in pure luck, because we have a couple of belters for you, as this weeks Kits and Pieces sees us review a lesser spotted Saints third kit from the Taylor Wimpey era, and we head over to The Kingdom for a Club Shop of Shame that started as a culinary expedition and swiftly descended into soccer musicality. For this weeks headline act, we are absolutely delighted to be joined by bona fide St. Johnstone legend, Hall of Fame member, and all-round top man Jim Morton, as he joins us for one of our favourite ever interviews to discuss his time at Saints, his views on the game, Australia, Henry Hall and much more. We loved this one, and really hope you do too. Mathematics with Sam Miller! Sexy Danny Williams! Shakira vs Rachel Stevens! It's all going off, so pull up a chair, stick your feet up, and join us for a damn good time. Get there!

It has become quite common this year for stock markets to reach new all-time highs, and to do so without significant corrections along the way. This pattern was very much in evidence last week, as equities continued their amazing streak following October's blip. The S&P 500 index rose to an all-time high for the seventh day in a row, and has broken so many records for undiluted optimism this year that market commentators have mostly given up highlighting them. Continental European stock markets were just as bullish, with the benchmark Euro Stoxx 50 index reaching new post-credit crunch highs for seven straight days. While most equity indices in the developed world have fared well over the past month, some have been more equal than others: UK equities have risen, but still significantly lag their pre-pandemic levels. The US stock market is now close to its all-time high in relative performance against the UK, and is trading at a 40% valuation premium, while European stock markets are trading at a 20% premium to the UK, a new post-referendum high.Stocks featured:Airbnb, Berkeley Group, Moderna, Peloton Interactive, Taylor Wimpey and TeslaTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

He also shares some of Taylor Wimpey's ongoing sustainability initiatives, reflects on the role of the construction industry in promoting similar initiatives and offers small steps we can all take in our everyday lives to support the sustainability agenda.

This time our regulars Jeremy Morgan QC and Andy Ellis are joined by Andrew Hogan of Kings Chambers. Jeremy describes Andrew’s contribution as ‘enormously illuminative’ and we are sure you will agree. The topics covered are: • Andrew’s thoughts on the effect of the pandemic on the High Court/ SCCO versus the County Court. • The new regime for witness statements operating in the Business and Property Courts with effect from 6 April 2021 (https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part-57a-business-and-property-courts/practice-direction-57ac-trial-witness-statements-in-the-business-and-property-courts). In Andrew’s words, he has never seen anything like it and the pilot could be seen as ‘an exercise in shuffling the deckchairs.’ Andrew and Andy highlight some immediate and longer-term practical issues which may emerge, including the weaponisation of non-compliance by the parties. • Solicitor client assessments can be the stuff of nightmares and the panel agree that the challenges we have seen thanks to CheckMyLegalFees.com (Belsner v Cam -https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2020/2755.html) and Swann v Slater & Gordon - https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/practice/cap-on-damages-amounts-to-informed-consent-court-rules/5107930.article) will inevitably outgrow their current home in personal injury and migrate to commercial litigation. • Budget variations - the procedure provides a bridge between the certainty that exists for the parties when a costs budget is approved at the beginning of the case and the fact that cases often develop in ways which cannot be imagined initially. The panel discuss two recent budget variation cases (Thompson v NFL Limited [2021] EWHC 679 (QB) and Persimmon & Taylor Wimpey v Osborne Clark [2021] EWHC 831 (Ch)) and highlight the interplay between the separate routes of budget variation applications on the back of significant developments and establishing good reason to depart from an approved budget on detailed assessment. They also pose an important question – who is in the best position to decide whether a budget should be increased, the managing judge or the costs judge? • The session finishes with a nod to the possibility of costs managing expert accountants’ fees in the future as mentioned by the Senior Costs Judge in the long running costs assessment in the case of Deutsche Bank AG v Sebastian Holdings Inc - https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Costs/2021/B4.html

The UK's largest housebuilders are being investigated by a watchdog after "troubling evidence" has emerged over the way leaseholds on newbuild housing estates have been sold to property buyers. Major companies like Barratt Developments, Countryside Properties, Persimmon Homes and Taylor Wimpey are facing legal action from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which could take the developers to court. Buyers have been caught in a leasehold trap, with rising ground rents, unfair fees and properties which could become difficult to sell. The CMA has demanded information from the developers and could go to court. Many people do not realise that when they buy a leasehold flat or house, they own a lease which gives them the right to use the property for the length of that lease. However, leaseholders are also restricted on what they can do with the property and often have to obtain their freeholder or landlord's permission for any work or changes to their homes. Typically, on a leasehold flat or house, a new lease is granted for a fixed period of between 99 and 125 years – in some cases 999 years. Whilst it’s true that people may extend their lease or buy the freehold, this can be expensive and many people find themselves at the mercy of a greedy landlord. Houses are also sold on a leasehold basis where house owners are charged expensive ground rent and service charges, in addition to rip-off fees just to make alterations or improvements to their homes. Most flats are sold as leasehold and most houses as freehold. A leasehold house is notoriously difficult to sell and should be avoided. The CMA watchdog said leasehold buyers were being hit with ground rents that doubled every decade, and said that others were wrongly advised that they could not buy the freehold on a site. Katie Kendrick, a leasehold victim, set up the National Leasehold Campaign six years ago and now has 18,000 members.

Rob & Rob are back again today with another Friday market update for you. The stock market is still changing week on week. Yes, it has slowed down with how aggressive it's changing, but compared to last week, it's down again. One that caught Rob B's eye especially was Taylor Wimpey. A month ago it was 2.13 and today it's 1.06 - which is mind blowing! It's hard to believe it's now worth half of what it was a month ago. So the question is now, will it just go up from here and work it's way back up to where it was? Or will it go down even further before it goes up again? Now whilst the stock market may be too volatile to invest in right now, the good news is that property seems like a very good option. Why? Well you'll have to tune in to find that out as Rob & Rob start discussing the topic of trading property through a property fund. They're also talking about what's happening internally at Property Hub and giving you an insight into what we've been up to this week. Enjoy - and we'll be back next week! We'd love to hear what you think of our new market updates over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a question you'd like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we'll see what we can do.

Confusion rippled through Britain on Tuesday, a day after Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered a three-week halt to all non-essential activity to fight the spread of the new coronavirus.Streets were empty but some subways were full. Hairdressers were closed but construction sites were open. People in romantic relationships wondered whether they could see their boyfriends or girlfriends if they weren't living together.The government has ordered most stores to close, banned gatherings of more than two people who don't live together and told everyone apart from essential workers to leave home only to buy food and medicines or to exercise.“You must stay at home,” Johnson said in a somber address to the nation on Monday evening.But even as the U.K. recorded its biggest single-day increase in COVID-19 deaths, commuters crowded onto London subway trains Tuesday, amid confusion about who was still allowed to go to work.As of Tuesday, Britain had 8,077 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 422 deaths, 87 more deaths than a day earlier.Julia Harris, a London nurse, said her morning train to work was full.“I worry for my health more on my commute than actually being in the hospital," she said.Sporting goods chain Sports Direct said its shops would remain open, arguing that selling exercise equipment was an essential service. It reversed course after an outcry from the public and officials.Many building sites remained open, with construction workers among those crowding onto early-morning subways.Electrician Dan Dobson said construction workers felt “angry and unprotected,” but felt they had to keep working."None of them want to go to work, everyone is worried about taking it home to their families,” he said. "But they still have bills to pay, they still have rent to pay, they still have to buy food.”Authorities sent mixed messages. British Treasury chief Rishi Sunak defended keeping construction sites open, insisting it could be done safely. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, however, said construction sites should close unless the building work was “essential.”Some closed voluntarily. Construction was halted on London’s huge Crossrail train project, and home builder Taylor Wimpey stopped work on all its sites.London Mayor Sadiq Khan implored employers: "Please support your staff to work from home unless it's absolutely necessary. Ignoring these rules means more lives lost.”Many families were also confused by the new rules.After Johnson said people should not mingle outside of their household units, separated parents asked whether their children could still travel between their homes. Cabinet minister Michael Gove initially said children should not move between households, before clarifying that it was permitted.As for couples who don't cohabitate, England's deputy chief medical officer, Jenny Harries, said "they should test the strength of their relationship” and decide whether to move in together.“What we do not want is people switching in and out of households. ... Test really carefully your strength of feeling," Harries advised.The restrictions are the most draconian ever imposed by a British government in peacetime. But they don’t go as far as lockdowns in Italy and France, where people need a document authorizing their movements.The government said police would have powers to break up illegal gatherings and fine people who flout the rules. But some expressed doubts about whether the lockdown could be enforced.Britain has lost thousands of police officers during a decade of public spending cuts by Conservative-led governments. Johnson has promised to recruit 20,000 more police officers, but those efforts are still in the early stages. Unlike some other European countries, Britons do not carry ID cards, another factor complicating enforcement efforts."There is no way really that the police can enforce this using powers. It has got to be because the public hugely support it,” Peter Fahy, former chief con...
Today on the episode of The Business Mentor Podcast, we hear the stories behind the success of White Box Property Solutions from the Founders Lloyd Girardi and Andi Cooke as they answer some questions from Jay. Lloyd and Andi were working in very different fields before they went on a risky journey of building their own property development company. They had little to no knowledge about it, but it turned out very well since they were willing to learn along the way. Aside from stories on building and growing their business, we also get to hear some great tips for aspiring business owners out there. Discover how you can get most out of mentorships, how to have the right mindset, why you need a great team, and why you need to create vision boards from Lloyd and Andi, so start tuning in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lloyd and Andi were two different industries before they decided to start a property company together. Lloyd was in the lighting industry while Andi was in the construction industry. It helped that they were both naïve and ready to learn new things when they stepped in the property industry. It’s best to approach people who have already has years of expertise and experience in property developments if you are just starting. There’s a lot of risks that you need to take so as much as possible, you should be backed up by the right team so that you make the right move. Andi and Lloyd’s top tip for those who want to start a business is to make your business ‘YOU’. Make sure that it suits your personality. Copying somebody else doesn’t give off a good result and self-fulfilment. If you really want to see the outcome from what you’re learning from your mentor, you have to put the work in. When is enough, enough? Lloyd says they don’t really have a specific end goal, aside from improving themselves and growing their businesses. Having a vision is essential, so you’ll know what direction you’re heading to. You can create your vision board, which can be in video, audio or print format, and it will effectively remind you to focus on your goals. BEST MOMENTS “Sometimes, you just need to put a step forward every day and just keep moving towards whatever the goal is, isn’t it?” – Andi “If someone’s already done it the way that you would do it anyway, leverage their knowledge.” – Jay “Do what feels right. You are your own individual brand.” – Jay “The answer and results you get are as good as the questions you’re gonna ask.” – Lloyd “Get in the right knowledge and put the work in.” – Jay “Money is everything, but it’s how you spend that money that makes you happy.” VALUABLE RESOURCES White Box Property Solutions Ltd ABOUT THE GUESTS Andi Cooke has been running a successful Construction Company, Red Box Property Solutions (Trading as Red Box Developments), since 2007 and continues to run the company. Red Box Developments are currently contracted by White Box Property Solutions Ltd for all of their property developments.

ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few. Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest, and at the age of 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success. A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly-coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles. After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast. Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast. In the UK alone, 95% of business fail within the first five years, and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number. Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.
