Yazar hakkında
Martin Webb is a successful serial entrepreneur and the presenter Channel 4’s Risking It All and the face of Lloyd’s TSB adverts.
Martin’s entrepreneurial portfolio is impressive having made his fortune selling C-Side, the leisure company he co-founded on in 1993. C-Side grew from one site to 28 leisure venues over the following eight years before it was sold for £15 million in 2001. He then set up People’s Pubs – the country’s first pub that gives its entire profit to local charities that benefit the community and developed two commercial pub companies in London.
Today Martin has expanded his remit and has launched Dekorart, a web-based fine art digital printing company. He also runs many other businesses including a stunning rural retreat in France and will soon be launching two online ventures in different sectors.
Martin writes for the Daily Telegraph and regularly speaks at startup events.
