BEST MOMENTS"The business is called The Cornwall 500, which... is to try and make Cornwall more accessible, more inclusive, so that more people could get to see the bits of Cornwall that most people don't get to see." - Clive Castle "I think the most important thing about being old is not the amount of times that you've revolved around the sun. I think that's irrelevant. It's how old you feel inside." - Clive Castle "If you can help others without a want of self, there's something about your inner core that just... puts the hairs up on the back of your head, a lump in your throat, you feel good." - Clive Castle "I think part of that is wisdom... knowing when things have worked, accepting when things haven't worked, and knowing why those things didn't work." - Clive Castle HOST BIOIldikó Sealey is a Property Professional, Networking Host and Podcast Host serving her local and wider community.  In the property business with her husband since 2019, their core values are revitalising neglected properties so they can provide modern, future-proofed, comfortable homes for people.  Recognising a gap in the local networking scene, Ildikó started co-hosting Property and Business Network in March 2024, bringing together the best in business in Plymouth and surrounding areas in Devon and Cornwall.  With a rich background in administration, social housing, arts and crafts, education, business and mindset, she is passionate about empowering her fellow 50+ Encorepreneurs on their journey.  Through her business, podcast shows and networking events, she makes an impact, proving that age is no barrier to success in the business world.
