Leading in uncertain times – Will Michelmore’s career in law, beer and finance

Fifth-generation lawyer Will Michelmore spent most of his career as a partner at South West law firm Michelmores. Since 1996, he has chaired the board of St Austell Brewery, one of the UK’s leading independent brewers and pub companies. Both businesses were founded by his ancestors, and in 2014 Will co-founded alternative lender Bricks Finance.

In this episode, Will reflects on the highs and lows of running businesses in the legal, hospitality and finance sectors during uncertain times, as well as sharing insights on leadership, managing change and colourful characters in his entrepreneurial family’s history.
