Sean Standerwick sits down with Dodge Woodall to talk money, business and the reality of building long-term wealth.

Sean breaks down how his family wealth management business grew from £20m to over £260m under management, the tax pressures facing UK business owners, and some of the simple financial habits entrepreneurs often overlook.

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 23:29

Sean Standerwick discusses taking over a 43-year-old family business and bringing a startup mentality to one of the UK’s most traditional industries.
