The CAPB Podcast - The Afghan Rug Shop "18 years in Counter Terrorism, of course I sell Afghan Rugs"
Update: 2025-06-06
Description
The next episode of the Podcast is arguably one of the most unique, romantic and brilliant example of a veteran owned business.
Veteran RAF Intelligence Officer James Wilthew tells his story of deploying to Afghanistan (Pre Op Herrick) when the country was on the brink of collapse, how his engagement and observation work led to building relationships in the souks and markets, to 15 years later starting a business selling Afghan Rugs in a Yorkshire village !!!!!
James supports the families of over 1000 Afghan Nationals with is ethical and fair trade importing and selling of the very same rugs he fell in love when in Country.
A great story, a great officer, a great leader and a bloody good human.
Enjoy.
