Season 4 | Ep 25 - Andy Larholt on why he should have sold his agency when he had an offer in 2015! - a podcast by Sean Anderson

Today’s episode was EPIC! It was funny, serious, honest and inspiring all in one...
Andy Larholt is the Founder and CEO of Montash - a 16 year old international technology recruitment agency in London
An exceptional biller at S3 from 18-24 yrs old, Andy launched Montash from his bedroom in his mid 20’s! 16 years later, on his 42nd birthday he has over 50 staff working from London, servicing clients around the world.
And what a journey he has had!
In this episode we discussed:
?The story of starting in recruitment at 18 and launching his agency at 24
?How he spent his early commission on a rolex and a new flat in Canary Wharf (he laughs at this now)
?The first 8 years of Montash being a small and hugely profitable agency which allowed him a lifestyle that not many people his age have lived!
?How he decided to grow the business in 2011 and implement process and structure
?Why he regrets not taking a huge offer to sell the business in 2015
?HIs decision to step back after this and appoint an MD to grow the business to 3 offices and 100+ staff
?Why he came back as CEO in 2019 and ‘cut the grass’ to grow a better more scalable business in the future


High energy and so many stories, you can’t help but love Andy when you listen! An all round great guy with incredible stories and experience, if you want to know more or ask for some advice then DM him on Linkedin!
