Two founders. £100k of their own money. And a first year that hit £1.4m invoicing and £1.1m EBIT.
In this episode, I sit down with Ricky Burns and Tony Mulcock, co-founders of The Pulse Group, to unpack the real story behind their first 12 months.
The leap, the risks, and why 95% of their success came from long-term relationships, trust, and advisory-led recruitment.

When Matt Sykes took over JD Ross Europe, he inherited a £4M ledger crisis, a merged brand that wasn’t working, and a team that needed a complete reset.
In this episode, we walk through how that crisis forced a full pivot into renewables and how the business grew into a multi-country powerhouse across France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and beyond.
