Our Guest this episode is Nigel Miller, CEO of the Active Learning Group.

Nigel has spent most of his career in finance and accounting, often taking failing businesses and turning them into successful ones. Travelling Asia and Africa with KPMG and Coca Cola towards the beginning of his career gave him insight into finance and development.

During this episode we cover Nigel’s journey from the corporate world to becoming a turnaround specialist and the formation of Active Learning Group.

Now CEO for ALG, he presides over an organisation that creates opportunities for outdoor learning and skills in immersive environments.
