Building A Multi-Billion Pound business with HomeServe's Jeremy Middleton
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. Want to learn more about using business and investing to build the lifestyle and legacy you deserve?

Tax Planning For Wealthy Americans with Neil Jesani
For a long time now I’ve been telling my high net worth clients that, as their wealth increases, they need to upgrade their advisory team. Too many families remain loyal to accountants and tax consultants who do not deal with clients of a similar profile. My guest today only deals with American clients earning $2 million plus a year, providing a mix of tax advice and wealth management designed to help them hang onto as much of their hard earned dollars as possible. His practice embraces how to structure your business and investment affairs to best effect, dealing with an exit from your business and planning the transfer of wealth to the next generation. He’s a Forbes Council member and author of the best selling book Win The War For Money And Success. His name is Neil Jesani.
