James Reed: all about business · 74. How to grow a business fast and exit successfully | Andrew Hulbert · 13 Apr 2026 podcast

And when I say I started with nothing, it was literally me and a laptop.

So I didn't have partners, didn't have processes, didn't have any funding, any investment.

It was just me and an idea.

The concept was that the bigger businesses in our sector had completely lost touch with the client.

And actually, they were so big that they were too rigid and they didn't treat staff very well.

And they didn't care about things like sustainability and people and social.

And I wanted to start this modern version of what a facilities management and property business could be.

And I was 27.

So all of my ideas were pretty sort of new and different.

So there were really three concepts.

Put people right back at the heart again, because we've just lost touch with the staff.

And I mean pay them on time, pay their expenses on time, give them a decent allowance for their boots, give them the tools that they need.

They sound really basic, but that wasn't practice, common practice in the sector.

Make your processes completely flexible.

So a lot of these big companies, they had really rigid IT processes that if the customer wanted to work with you, the customer had to change their processes to fit yours.

I was like, no, no, no, let's turn it around.

Let's have really flexible cloud-based processes so that we can do it the way the customer wants to do it.

And then the final one is what I would call ESG, so environmental, social and governance, which really means doing brilliant sustainability initiatives that are very real.

So we were carbon neutral on scope one and two, for example, and we'll be net zero by 2027, still going today.

But also to have a brilliant social heart.
