Almeda Managing Director Brady Savage-George recently shared his leadership journey in a candid fireside chat at the latest Bristol Rebel Meetup, an event series known for its no-nonsense approach to business discussions.
Rebel Meetups, organised by Ash Phillips, provide a dynamic platform for business leaders to discuss strategies for business growth and personal motivations. These events are essential for anyone interested in leadership development and business innovation.
At each event, Ash interviews a business owner or leader to delve into what motivates them and gain insights into successful business growth. The talks are intentionally no-nonsense and Brady was invited to speak at one of the latest Bristol meetups. He began his discussion by recounting advice from his father, Gary, the founder of Almeda, who told him ‘don’t mess it up,’ when Brady took over as Managing Director at the age of 29.
Annually, Rebel Meetups hosts over 150 talks across the UK and globally, fostering a community of forward-thinking professionals.
Brady comments: “Rebel Meetups are authentic and inspiring, so I was pleased to be able to contribute and have an honest discussion about what it’s like to be at the helm of a family business that is ambitious to scale. We need more frank and open discussions about not only the highs but the lows in business too.”
Ash comments: “Brady delivered a hard hitting talk about what it’s like to be involved in a family business and the unique challenges this brings. A good test of how well an event has been received is by the number of people queuing at the end to talk to the guest. The room was full, long after Brady’s talk.”
During his talk, Brady shared valuable lessons from navigating the triumphs and challenges at the helm of a family-operated business, emphasising the importance of resilience and adaptability.
