Description
Plain speaking has never held Peter Hargreaves back. In In for a Penny, the multi-millionaire co-founder of Hargreaves Lansdown tells his own business adventure — candid, outspoken, and refreshingly honest about what it takes to build a giant from a spare bedroom.
Starting with almost nothing in 1981, Hargreaves and his partner Stephen Lansdown bet on a simple idea: that ordinary people deserved better investment advice than the high street offered. Through market crashes, skepticism, and sheer hard work, they grew a tiny Bristol office into one of Britain’s most trusted financial companies.
Hargreaves writes with the bluntness of a man who has seen it all — decades of investment experience distilled into stories, opinions, and hard-won lessons. For entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone fascinated by how fortunes are really made, this is an entertaining and inspiring read from one of Britain’s most colorful businessmen — proof that plain speaking and hard work still build fortunes.
