The Fun Side Of Business
Built It, Sold It, Rebuilt It
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit down with Simon Bennett, CEO of Vinttro, whose career starts far from boardrooms! Working as an Ipswich panel beater before building and scaling high-growth insurance and claims businesses, completing a successful exit, and then launching a new venture designed with acquisition in mind from day one.Simon takes us back to the early grind: YTS schemes, long hours, saying yes to every shift, and building practical skills while others were still figuring out their direction. Those early lessons set the tone for everything that followed.
