Building A Multi-Billion Pound business with HomeServe's Jeremy Middleton
Description
Jeremy Middleton is an inspiration to any UK entrepreneur looking to build a unicorn business.
After meeting business partner Richard Harpin when they both worked at corporate giant Proctor & Gamble, they took the brave step of leaving the regular pay cheque behind and setting up their own businesses.
There were plenty of challenges and false starts but they eventually founded a plumbing and heating company that morphed into HomeServe, now an international company and the UK’s largest home repair business. In 2023 the company was taken private by Brookfield Asset Management at a value of £4.1 billion.
In parallel my guest began his own consulting firm and has made investments in multiple SMEs where he offers patient capital as well as sound advice to the founders. He’s also been active in philanthropy through his own foundation and community enterprise fund as well as being a Conservative party candidate in several elections.
In 2012 he was awarded the CBE for services to charity and politics.
