Rob is joined by former Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins as he shares why he left the UK after Labour's victory and more. From paying £100 million in taxes to building a £150 million business, Charlie doesn't hold back on his views about working from home, immigration, business practices, and Labour's policies. Charlie also shares his controversial takes on employment, apprenticeships, and the current political climate.
Charlie REVEALS:
-
How he built Pimlico Plumbers into a £150 million business
-
How he would solve the migration and immigration crisis
-
Why he moved to Spain after Labour's victory, criticising their anti-business policies and approach to unions and benefits
-
Why he advocates for the immediate sacking of bad employees
-
How he paid over £100 million in UK taxes before leaving and is also now fighting attempts to remove his OBE
-
Why he believes working from home is detrimental to business and professional development
BEST MOMENTS
"I learned in life, you don't follow your drea, follow what's going to be beneficial to you. Follow your future. Dreams don't happen."
"The best time to sack someone is when you first think about getting rid of them."
"Staff is the worst thing in business, but it's also the best thing."
"For a youngster, once you've got a job, that's when you grow up. That's when you become part of society. That's when you start contributing and you get something out of it."
