Description
In For A Penny A Business Adventure, Peter Hargreaves shares the story behind the extraordinary success of his investment company, Hargreaves Lansdown. From humble beginnings in a spare bedroom, Hargreaves and his business partner Stephen Lansdown built a company that has consistently challenged conventional management wisdom. With a focus on giving clients the best information, prices, and service, Hargreaves Lansdown has become a widely recognised leader in the industry. The company's remarkable journey, including its flotation on the London stock market in 2007, valued at £800 million, is told in this candid and outspoken book. Hargreaves offers his unvarnished views on what it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur and investor, making this a valuable read for anyone looking to understand the investment business.
