  • Rob Halliday-Stein

    Rob Halliday-Stein BullionByPost

    Saturday 17th May 2014

    Rob is the Founder and Managing Director of BullionByPost, the UK’s leading online bullion dealer supplying gold and silver bars and coins directly to members of the public through the post. He founded the company in 2008 with just £10,000 after spotting a gap in the market. Today, BullionByPost has handled more than 57,000 deliveries. After his mother died in 2008, Halliday-Stein decided to invest a proportion of his inheritance in gold and silver, but was put off by the unfriendly nature of established bullion dealers, and the high premiums they charged. During a visit to an established bullion dealer in London, he saw customers queuing out of the door, confirming his belief that there was a growing demand to invest in bullion as part of a long-term financial plan. Halliday-Stein initially rented office space in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, and he dealt personally with customer enquiries and their orders. He quickly identified that trust and customer service was the key to the company’s success, and spent a lot of time talking to customers and discussing their options. Once he was confident that there was demand for his offering Halliday-Stein began without a formal business plan, instead focusing on tightly controlling costs and closely managing cash flow. He reinvested all profit generated back into marketing to help grow the business.

    John Bird Big Issue

    Saturday 10th May 2014

    John Bird is the founder and editor of the Big Issue magazine. A man with a fascinating story who has made a successful enterprise against all the odds. He was born into poverty, brought up in care, and has lived through a lot. His life’s journey has included spells as a thief, prison inmate, artist and poet. Now an established iconoclast, activist and publisher, John Bird is the force behind The Big Issue, the world's most successful street magazine. He is an inspirational business leader with an outstanding record of using business as a tool for social change. At a time when Corporate Social Responsibility is preoccupying business leaders and consumers alike, John Bird offers an authoritative, fresh approach, and some original perspectives on the interaction of business and society. His diverse experience, combined with his exuberant personality, erudition and often trenchant views make him a compelling and entertaining speaker. Bird on Bird “I speak clearly and powerfully and my message is simple: It’s about motivation, leadership, drive, learning from your mistakes, and turning rejection into something positive. I have been homeless, an offender, and an addict. Yet I’ve achieved a more than many who started life with more advantages than me. I am now ready to help other people to realize their goals.”
