Richard Mawer is the CEO of Ignite Growth Consultancy and founder of Leadnamic Systems, and the author of Remarkable Business Growth.

Over more than three decades he has built eight of his own businesses and helped hundreds of owners to grow theirs, including one client he worked with through to a £28m exit and another to an £8m acquisition.

His first book set out the STEPS Growth Method, a step-by-step approach to building a remarkable business that attracts a steady flow of clients and drives predictable growth to £1m and beyond. This book goes further. It shows owners how to build the engine and systems behind that growth, using the BUILD method (Bespoke, Usable, Intelligent, Leverage, Data), so the business runs without depending on them for every decision.
