In her relaxed and open account of life in a family business, Helen shares her thoughts on all manner of topics from: entering a well-established, traditional industry as a kitchen table startup taking a fresh approach; imposter syndrome and working in a male-dominated sector; balancing roles as a mum to seven, wife, director and business owner; the challenges along the way and the enduring need for clear vision and purpose.
