Lucy Beckwith: Being way too entrepreneurial to be employable
Lucy Beckwith comes from a family with tourism in their blood. She’s a Director, along with her brother Matthew, at City Cruises; the biggest tour boat operator on the River Thames in London. Her parents first set sail into the world of tourism in 1985 when they launched ‘The King’ to allow tourists to see London from the comfort of a boat. In 1996 they set up ‘City Cruises’ which sails more than an astounding 4 million passenger journeys every year and employs over 300 staff, and it also offers the same service in York and Poole. With London being one of the top sightseeing cities in the world, Lucy’s hugely successful family business clearly knows exactly what they have to do to get people to choose their service in a city otherwise over-spilling with sightseeing businesses. Lucy talks to Sandro about being born into a successful family business and recognising the amazing opportunity she was given, but also how she’s brought her own strength and approach to help the company become more successful than ever. Sandro Forte is a highly respected and successful businessman who has built an astonishing network of well-known individuals, sports stars and celebrities over a career spanning more than 30 years. Author of the bestselling book ‘Dare to Be Different’ and a sought-after speaker, Sandro has decided to access his enviable resources to produce a podcast series, centred around personal development, which invites a different person each episode to talk about their successes, their challenges and what lessons they have learned in life to make them who they are today. Their insights and wisdom both educate and motivate as they explain how success, whilst not always easy, is achievable for anyone. These interviews provide inspiring and informative insight from the perspective of an impressive and varied range of personalities.
