Why the UK isn't celebrating risk takers and wealth creators
The UK is at risk of "taking too many steps down a road of not wanting to celebrate risk takers and wealth creators", according to the co-CEO of sports apparel brand, Castore.
Thomas Beahon, who shares the top job with his brother Phil, added that "there's not a lot of incentive for anyone to take risks right now" and called for a flat rate of income tax to be introduced.
Speaking to Jon Robinson on this episode of City AM's Boardroom Uncovered podcast, Beahon said it is "hard to be overly positive" about the state of the UK economy and that actions taken by the Labour government "haven't necessarily matched the rhetoric that came before them coming into power".
Boardroom Uncovered is also available in video format as well.
