Ian Kilbride: Financial services entrepreneur - first Appleton, now Warwick

Loading player...
There's nothing run-of-the mill about financial services entrepreneur Ian Kilbride. Having travelled from the UK to SA by road in an old Bedford truck he met a local girl, got married and has lived in the Cape ever since. We've known each other for two and a half decades, during which time I've admired his relentless focus on the matter at hand. First it was the creation, building and listing of Appleton. After being ejected from that business by his new partners, he began again and has been even more successful with Warwick. Kilbride prefers staying under the radar, but made an exception in this interview, sharing his story and sharing where he next expects to take his rapidly expanding business. Wonderful insights, specially tailored for fellow entrepreneurs . Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
