Taking over as CEO in 2008, Hugo tells us how he has developed what was a single issue pressure group into the well-known marine conservation charity that today campaigns not just about sewage pollution but plastic pollution, water quality and climate change. 

When Hugo took over the organisation, he says how "it has come to a point when it was unsure of its next steps. Indeed, it may not have continued had I not taken on the role". He tells us how he grown the organisation to what it is today and what they have had to do to achieve this.

It's a fascinating podcast episode in the latest Business Noodles and Doodles series where we talk to business leaders and entrepreneurs to find out about their own personal business story. 

In this podcast episode, we talk to Mark Hodgson from Co Cars. His mission is to create space for people in our towns and cities by getting them to rethink how they move by switching from the private car to shared mobility.

It's a fascinating conversation where Mark explains their business model - enabling people through the use of an app to hire a car or an electric bike - rather than owning their own.

In the twelfth episode of Business Noodles and Doodles, Nick Rodda from Rodda's talks about being the fifth generation working in this well-known family business. He also chats about gaining B Corp accreditation, the positives to come out of the pandemic and of course that question that we all argue about - is it cream or jam first when having a cream tea?

In the eleventh episode of Business Noodles and Doodles, Steve Oxford tells us about being a fourth generation baker, using some of the same equipment that his Great Grandfather bought for the business over 100 years ago.

He chats about the importance of being a family business and how they worked with a 1000 year old mill during the early stages of the pandemic to make sure they had enough flour, which then in turn received attention from around the world.
