Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Health Tech PR Founder to Exit & Beyond | Holly Tennock | Exiteers Podcast
Q: How did Holly's early career shape her approach to health-tech PR?
Her journalism work across the NHS, regeneration, and European Parliament taught her to find the needle in the haystack—identify what truly resonates and translate complexity into accessible stories, a skill she later embedded in Journalista's mission.
Gareth Hawkins: Government support for SMEs is lacking!
Q: Could you give us a bit of your backstory and how you built the business to the point of exit?
Gareth explains a long, circuitous journey through sales leadership, growing a wholesale distribution business via acquisitions, and eventually selling to a Nordic holding group after deliberate planning and a focus on culture and leverage, followed by a transition period and reflection post-exit.
She got ghosted by her buyers. Then did it her way. | Caroline Carruthers
Q: What changes did you implement in leadership post-exit to keep the company moving forward?
Caroline details moving day-to-day operations to an MD, freeing her for big-picture leadership and thought leadership, and stressing the importance of trust and clear roles in sustaining growth after an ownership transition.
She got ghosted by her buyers. Then did it her way. | Caroline Carruthers
Q: How did Covid affect the business and what did you learn from that period?
Covid lockdowns hit hard, with international clients and contracts cancelled overnight, forcing a reset. The experience underscored the importance of resilience, returning to basics, and rebuilding a more robust model that could weather future shocks.
She got ghosted by her buyers. Then did it her way. | Caroline Carruthers
Q: What prompted Carruthers & Jackson to pursue an exit or partial exit, and how did you approach it?
Caroline explains that the move emerged from a need for growth infrastructure and access to resources, not just cash. She and the team defined clear red lines, what they were prepared to compromise on, and chose an arrangement that kept her at the table to guide growth while bringing in support.
