Giles Fearnley on Entrepreneurship and Groups

GF head and shoulds_09.jpg

Giles Fearnley has founded two successful independent transport businesses and ended his career running the country’s biggest bus group.

What has he learned from Blazefield, Prism and First? Are the things that drive growth the same as those that create a shareholder return? Is there a future for the big bus groups? Do we have a problem with short-termism?

Giles looks back at his career to try to answer some of these questions - ending with a clarion cry on the importance of localism.
