Confessions of an Entrepreneur – ‘From Corporate Career to Management Buyout.’

GT Emissions Systems Ltd’s Managing Director Stephen Wright sits down with Carl Swansbury FCA, Partner and Head of Corporate Finance at Ryecroft Glenton, for a new podcast Confessions of an Entrepreneur episode. ‘From Corporate Career to Management Buyout.’

After more than three decades building his career with global corporates including Volvo and KB, Steve led the management buyout of GT Emission Systems alongside his leadership team, transitioning the business into independent ownership.

In this episode, Steve shares how years of experience, relationship building and sector knowledge prepared him for that moment, and why timing, confidence and the strength of a management team are critical when stepping into ownership.

Steve also reflects on his global career, the importance of hard work and resilience, and why entrepreneurship isn’t always about starting from scratch, but about recognising and acting on the right opportunity.

A thoughtful and grounded conversation about leadership, patience and building a business journey over time.
