In today's episode, we welcome back a very special guest, Richard Whitwell. Richard is a Director of LDC, and head of the Midlands Region.

Once again in Guy's absence, Gary talks to Richard - this time, about his experiences not just as an investor but also as a Finance Director at various private equity-backed businesses. He also reveals how important numeracy and financial literacy can be for the role, as it can bring comfort and confidence to the board.
