Episode #269 - Scaling your business by jumping at the opportunities as they appear - with Angharad Wrigley

Jul 28, 2023

Hello I’m Granger Forson

www.bizsmart-gloucestershire.co.uk or find me on LinkedIn.

This time on ScaleUp Radio I speak with Angharad Wrigley the owner of Hot Tubs Rock.

 

Hot Tubs Rock is a business based in Lydney that rents and sells hot tubs and all the services you would need for one, along with all the garden furniture you would need to make it exceptional. They started in 2015 and now have nine employees. It has recently expanded into Worcestershire as well.

 

It is so interesting hearing Angharad’s story, of how her business started when she was bored at work one day. She then set up the business while taking a year out, travelling with her children around the world.

 

As always, we covered a lot of ground including:

• Being honest and visible with your pricing will make you different.
• Making decisions based on intuition and gut really works, backed up with sound risk debates.
• Being on the right social media platform is key to find your customers.

 

What I love about this conversation with Angharad is how she demonstrates that taking the opportunities as they arise in front of you and not holding back, helps to build a fast-growing successful business. It’s always better to try and learn, than to say I didn’t have go.

 

I know you’ll get something out of this episode.
