About this listen

Scaling a business isn’t just about ambition - it’s about grit, clarity, and knowing when to hold your nerve.

In this episode of Beyond the Numbers, Bev Wakefield speaks with Scott Parsons, co-founder of Forsyth Barnes, about building one of the UK’s fastest-growing recruitment firms from the ground up. From selling sweets at school to leading teams across four continents, Scott shares the mindset shifts, financial strategies, and leadership lessons that shaped his journey.

They dive into the realities of scaling without external funding, navigating COVID with conviction, and creating a culture where people truly care. If you’re growing something big and want to lead with purpose, not just pressure, this episode will show you how.
