I have always had a little business going, my first little business began when I was 10 years old when I began selling live daphnia water flees that I found in a lake to a pet shop that sold tropical fish.

Work smart not hard and set realistic business objectives.

Andrew Maund - Challengers

I have started up several businesses in different fields over the years each with varying degrees of success. The ideas come from a range of sources, such as friends, work colleagues, the media or from my business network and contracts.

Challengers specialises in Leadership and Management Development working in partnership with a broad range of clients across all sectors to bring about a measurable performance improvement in individuals, teams and organisations.

I have had to deal with a lot of setbacks during my business life such as dealing with economic effects of a long recession, the unexpected loss of large contracts, plus the death of my parents and of my young son.
