2021 marks the 10 years anniversary of Heron Financial, I'm not sure if Matt ever had to foresight to see how big it would actually grow with a team of over 30 staff and it's own bespoke 'Everglades' software that he has been an integral part of developing.
We talk about what he looks for when hiring staff and it was great to hear how fondly he talks about hiring apprentices and see them grow over the years that he works with.
One thing you'll notice is how Matt always talks about how great his team are, that he hires people who know more than him and he actually distracts the team when he goes into the office- they eventually tell him to get lost so they can get on with their work!
Matt talks about how important outsourcing his social media is, especially to free up time but to give his company verification when people search him online.
He's a lovely guy and it was a pleasure interviewing Matt, you'll get tonnes of value from this episode. If you wanted to connect with Matt:

As with all my guests I donate £10 to a chosen charity as a way of saying Thank You for coming on. Matt has decide to donate to "Create" who are the UK’s leading charity empowering lives through the creative arts.
