Ever wondered what it is like to start a business in the highways and transport sector and nearly fail several times before making a success of it?
This week’s Highways Voices podcast, sees the launch of a new series-Highways Business, which will explore some of the highs and lows, the profits, the losses and successes and failures of running a company in the highways and transport industry.
Business leaders will join the podcast with the aim of sharing what they do so other leaders can learn from their experiences – whether good or bad.
This week’s edition features Dom Cotton, Co-Chief Executive and founder of the award-wining folding cycle helmet company, Newlane.
Topics cover:
- Turning ideas and concepts into reality
- How Newland built an award-winning business
- Why failing is important before you get success
- What has been the hardest thing about running the business?
- How to go about getting investment for a business
- What are the key takeaways for other business leaders?
“I wouldn’t advise doing it on your own, because you need someone to share it with,” says Mr Cotton when referring to how he found the prefect business partner.
