TRICKY BUSINESS


Steven Mitchell with one of his water buffalo

Water buffalo – the key to business success for Steven Mitchell?

Tricky Business follows the successes and failures of five ambitious young entrepreneurs. They discover that setting up, running and expanding a business is challenging and can be precarious. They have to be imaginative, prepared to diversify and willing to engage in high-risk strategies. They have vision and enthusiasm but are these characteristics enough to make it in the fiercely competitive world of business?

  • Oli Norman – can he repeat his success in Glasgow and become an international player?
  • Steven Mitchell – can he turn his fortunes round with a herd of water buffalo?
  • Ruth McKay – can she use her first-class honours degree to become a marketing wizard?
  • Nick Willoughby – can he turn one crepe stand into a commercial catering enterprise?
  • Ash Arshad – can he move from a niche market into the mainstream?
