  • Very Helpful

    This podcast is very useful shared learning. I particularly respect the independent specialist who discovers or digs out a winning strategy, and is keen to share it with other independent specialists. I believe the key is accepting that competition between ourselves is the minor and healthy threat. The threat is national companies masking the service they offer to look similar to the expertise we offer, and busy multi tasking potential clients, are not at fault for buying from nationals, we inde... more

  • A view from the attic

    Like Rapunzel but with less hair, Andy has been stuck in his attic since the beginning of the covid pandemic hosting this brilliant podcast.

    Finding myself off work at various points during this time, the kbbreview podcast has always been my go to podcast for my morning walk.

    A fantastic mix of humour, seriousness and insightful information surrounding the kbb industry from every angle with some dodgy feel good music & movie choices thrown in.

    This definitely is a five star podcast. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️... more

Resilience 2026: Arthur Leaker from Leaker Direct

Q: What have you learned from periods of disruption like Brexit and COVID that made your business more resilient?
