Charlie Mullins is one of Britain’s best known, and most successful businessmen. He founded Pimlico Plumbing in 1979, turned it into a £50 million a year trade empire, then sold it last year for £140 million. So, what do you do after that? In this episode we talk about:

 

  • His plan to open a new service company with an HQ in Lambeth  
  • The reason he sold Pimlico, and why he now feels he "let down customers and staff"
  • How Pimlico Plumbing became so successful  
  • The big mistake that nearly led to Pimlico going bankrupt, and how he got out of it 
  • The moment his lawyer told him "the money's in your account"
  • Why he’s running for Mayor of London 
  • The one question everyone always asks him, and what the answer is...

 

 Charlie will be appearing at our SME Expo, which is being held at the ExCeL London on April 25th and 26th. For more details, click here
