Rob Swann – From trainee to MD, leadership in an SME
Rob Swann joined Nottingham-based manufacturer Termate as a teenage apprentice, in 1989. Thirty-five years later, he now owns the company.
In 2007 Rob lead a management buy-out of the SME, which at the time was owned by his dad.
Since then, Termate has been on a big export drive – to the point where international sales of its electrical insulation products now far outweigh domestic business.
In episode number 41 of the Nottingham Business School Business Leaders’ Podcast, Rob tells Honorary Visiting Professor Mike Sassi about the stresses faced by small business owners – and why they really need to look after themselves.
