Welcome to Episode 7 of The Business Growth Show! Join hosts Adam and Jon as they chat with Tony Gardner from Hegarty Solicitors, a pillar of the Stamford and Rutland business community with over 35 years of leadership and networking experience across multiple industries.

Tony opens up about his unique career journey, from roles in sales, marketing, and organisational leadership to stepping into legal services. Discover how he uses his diverse experience to help businesses flourish, not just legally, but through genuine human connection and strategic networking.

We dive into:

• The power of authentic networking and how Tony connects businesses, even beyond legal solutions.
• Why local businesses thrive with relational outreach, not just transactions.
• Navigating the rise of AI in legal work, and why combining AI with human oversight is more important than ever.
• His top tip for growing teams: empowering people, driving accountability and supporting them to shine.
• And a sneak peek at upcoming local initiatives, including an Invest‑for‑Growth workshop coming this summer - small, personable, and designed to support business expansion.

If you're intrigued by building resilient brands rooted in community, or curious about legal strategies that embrace innovation, this episode is a must-listen.
