Episode Synopsis

In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, we dive into the inspiring journey of Louise Hampton, founder of Attend2Health, a thriving multidisciplinary health clinic based in Buntingford. Starting in 2007 with just three rented treatment rooms, Louise has scaled her business into a nine-room, fully owned clinic with a community studio – all housed in a former Barclays Bank. Louise shares the bold decisions, financial risks, and long-term planning that made this transformation possible. We explore how Louise navigated rising costs, developed new revenue streams like Pilates classes, and maintained a strong financial buffer to ensure sustainability. But it's not just about numbers – her people-first approach, deep community engagement, and values-driven leadership shine through as key drivers of growth and retention. Whether you're a clinic owner, a service-based business founder, or just looking for inspiration to take the next big step in your scaleup journey, Louise's story is full of practical lessons and real-world resilience. One key takeaway? Strategic ownership of your business premises can be a game changer – if you're willing to take the leap.
