Episode Synopsis
Today I am interviewing Matt Atkinson who is the Managing Director of Utelize.
Matt shared his experiences of how he has started multiple businesses and grown them, recognising that each stage of growth requires different skills of people, along with ensuring you are empowering and motivating your teams onto the next stage. Matt shared 2 key ways to drive his business forward, one was ensure you have the right culture - Matt has created a customer service focused culture due to this being a competitive advantage in their sector and secondly, create an environment of innovation, an environment where there is freedom to fail and learn from these, thereby pushing the boundaries in a safe environment.
