Live Long and Prosper

The Bottom Line

About this episode

Very few companies survive for centuries. Evan Davis hears from a luxury jeweller, a removals firm and a diversified business that makes money from ships, finance and groceries. Between them they have nearly a thousand years of business experience. What strategies have they embarked on to ensure that they live long and prosper? Has their history become a burden or a motivator? And have they sacrificed growth for corporate longevity?

Guests: Sir Michael Bibby, MD The Bibby Line Michael Wainwright, CEO Boodles Stuart Burnett, Partner Shore Porters Society

Producer: Rosamund Jones.
