Peter Gradwell shares lessons learned from building a multi-million pound business

Founder of Gradwell Communications, Peter Gradwell prides himself on his ability to design products that solve broken processes. In this week’s episode of DRIVE, he talks us through how he grew his small communications business from building websites in his student flat into a multi-million pound enterprise supporting over 20,000 UK small businesses. 

 

His incredible work ethic was inspired by his entrepreneurial parents, who both ran their own businesses and helped Peter to look at the world and think, “how can I make this better?”. From a young age, he was taught to deconstruct systems into their component parts and restructure them to find a better outcome. 

 

Since building and later selling Gradwell Communications, Peter has launched two new ventures in 2020 – consulting firm, Ystwyth Ventures Limited, and UK SIM-only mobile operator, IQ Mobile. 

 

Peter’s journey is one of evolution, full of lessons learned from growing a large team, working with external investors and realising that sometimes, customers don’t always know what they need! Tune in to find out more.
