From Failed £35M Exit to 50% YoY Growth: An Inside Look at the Deliberate Rebuild of Trinnovo Group with Ashley Lawrence

from Recruitment Mentors Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Lawrence, founder and CEO of Trinnovo Group, to unpack one of the most raw and honest rebuilds you'll hear in recruitment.In 2022, Ash had built a £20M fee business across three brands with a £35M PE offer on the table one week from close, the deal collapsed.What followed was a complete reset. Ash stepped back in as CEO, sold BioTalent, rebuilt the leadership team from scratch, and made a series of deliberate decisions across culture, systems, product and strategy that drove 40-50% YoY growth and repositioned Trinnovo as a genuinely PE-ready business.You can connect with Ashley here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleylawrencetg/-------------------------Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oqeSqiPSgOU-------------------------Podcast Sponsors: Claim your exclusive savings from our partners with the links below:Sourcewhale - Check Out Sourcewhale & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.Atlas - Check Out Atlas & Claim Your Exclusive Offer HereRaise - Check Out Raise & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.-------------------------Want more content like this?The Wednesday Debrief is our free weekly newsletter for recruiters who take their craft seriously.
