Summary
Alex Trimnell is the managing director of Muc-Off Ltd. Muc-Off was created by Alex's Father who spotted a gap in the market for a bike cleaner that wasn't corrosive on parts and was safe on the environment. On this episode we discuss how Alex has continued to grow the business after his Father passed away in 2004, research and development, the struggles that come with running a large business and anything and everything in-between.
If, like me you thought Muc-Off was owned and operated by a bunch of men in suits then I think this episode will surprise you!
Living with an entrepreneur can't be easy! Alex's wife Flavia must be a saint to support him along the journey too...
Enjoy!
