Listen "53 rejections, 1 yes, and £150 million to lend."
Episode Synopsis
Judith Totten thinks kindness is important in her business. Which is rather surprising because she's in the finance business. But it has paid off for her and the numbers tell the story: zero A Levels because she left school early; 20 years at the bank learning her trade; £500,000 scraped together to start her own lending business; 53 rejections from London banks who wouldn't back her; 1 yes and £5 million from the one that did; 1 decade and two buyouts later and she's now got £150 million to lend. She tells her remarkable story with real candour and humour. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
