An Exit is an Open Door

April 2026

Loved speaking at the Entrepreneurs & The Economy panel in Manchester, focusing on a critical topic for so many successful business people.

Life after exit. How it feels. What to expect. How to prepare. And most crucially why an exit is an open door, not a dead-end.

I was privileged to sit alongside Tracey Peers and Tom Canning to talk about my experiences, what I learned; and also to learn from them and many others in the room. All expertly facilitated by Oliver Jones, from Five Wealth Ltd.

Great to see so many people there - looked like it was standing room only - and it was a perfect venue which set the tone for the lively atmosphere. Plenty of questions and conversations, during and after the set-piece stuff.

Thanks to Stephen Jordan, Liz Colfer too from Five Wealth Ltd for including me and to everyone who made it so good.
