  • The Business Owner - Martin Lewis vs Martin Kemp - Christmas Special
    2024/12/18

    In this final episode of the year, David and Trevor bring some much-needed festive cheer to the often serious and challenging world of business finance. Their efforts are made even merrier by the lively presence of guest Martin Lewis, founder of 'EVESS' (Graduation Attire Ltd).

    At just 36 years old, Martin shares his remarkable entrepreneurial journey, which began on the very day he graduated—12 July 2013. He reveals how a chance meeting with business finance professional and Guild member Duncan Payne (aka Martin Kemp) from 'Adamantean' became a turning point. Thanks to Duncan’s introduction of a tailored asset finance and trade finance facility, Martin’s business found the support it needed to thrive.

    This inspiring conversation is packed with valuable insights for business owners, but it’s not all serious! Martin’s sense of humour matches the hosts’ clownish charm, leading to hilarity as they dream up a band called “Rock & Robe,” with Duncan as the lead singer.

    If you’re looking for the perfect blend of laughs, light-hearted banter, and practical business wisdom, this episode is a must-listen!

  • WE ARE BACK...with Bells, Bagpipes, Baldness and a smidge of business chat!
    2024/11/20

    After a sun-soaked break enjoying beers and beaches in the Algarve, Dave and Trev are back!

    Riding on the success of Series 1, the duo couldn’t resist returning for another round of lighthearted chatter. This time, they’ve teamed up with The Guild of Business Finance Professionals.

    Since the Guild’s launch in June, the timing feels spot on, with a natural synergy bringing these two worlds together. While Dave’s wedding bells are still echoing in Trevor’s ears—along with the groans of other fellow “sufferers”—this new collaboration aims to strike a chord with business owners in need of financial expertise.

    So, kick back, toss a log on the fire, and see if you can stay awake for the full 21 minutes and 35 seconds!

  • A Little Conclusion - Don't Call Me Elf!

    After nine previous episodes, Dave and Trev wrap up Series 1 with a recap of all that’s unfolded on the show over the past six months.

    The duo reflect on memorable guests, including Jo Hughes, the business owner from Episode 3, and Andrew Frost, the lender from Episode 9. Between these, there’s been a mix of other guests, some awful humour, and a quiz effort that didn’t quite capture the audience’s enthusiasm.

    Since the founding of The Guild of Business Finance Professionals on June 6th, it seems fitting that future shows will align with the Guild to strengthen it's growing membership and communication channels.

    As for Series 2, plans remain hidden under a big red blanket and still waiting for a clear direction. In the meantime, Dave and Trev will continue their playful mission to conquer South America, ponder a world tour, consider selling out to Netflix, or perhaps go off gallivanting with their showbiz pals, Mr Benedict Cumberbatch and Ms Gillian Anderson.

    For more market updates and buffoonery, stay tuned for Series 2—coming to all nearby mobile phones in November/sometime soon!
