このコンテンツについて
In this opening episode of What One Thing?, Hayley sits down with co-host Phil Davenport to uncover the story behind his IT business, Affirm IT.
Phil shares how he went from redundancy (just a week before his daughter was born) to building a growing managed service provider — with nothing more than a £250 credit card, one client, and a whole lot of drive.
They cover:
✔️ The mindset shift from employment to business ownership
✔️ How he landed his first client (before he even quit his job)
✔️ Why hiring an apprentice early was a game-changer
✔️ The importance of cultural fit over technical skill
✔️ The one thing that’s rocketed business growth in the past 18 months
Phil’s journey is relatable, honest, and full of moments most business owners will recognise — from self-doubt and burnout to bold decisions and real progress.
🚀 Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, this one’s for you.
