Jimmy Armitage
Jimmy has helped grow private businesses since 2005, working across a range of industries - from startups to a £40B company.
Recent successes include scaling a food business from £1M to £10M in three years and a startup from £0 to £25M in four.
He’s seen firsthand that the key difference in business success is building high-performing teams.
Having played for England Rugby U18, he learned early on how much the right team matters.
That experience, combined with his business background, led him to create Wavelength - a way to help ambitious leaders recruit the right people and stop letting hiring slow them down.
