Felix has distilled some of the best strategies he's learnt over twenty-five years of leading businesses of varying sizes into an easy-to-read framework. He expertly lays out the journey a business needs to undertake to scale. He breaks it down into digestible steps, allowing you to achieve your goals via well-structured frameworks and engaging stories along the way. I highly recommend you read this book to help you triple your business in two years, as many of his clients have, without stressing your employees or creating burnout

There are many business books that talk about what other companies have done in the past, but it's not often you get a step-by-step guide on how to grow your business from someone who has done it many times already. Scale at Speed is relevant, practical and essential for all entrepreneurs looking to grow their business
Ronan Gruenbaum, Dean and Professor of Practice, Hult International Business School

This is a must-read book for all those entrepreneurs who are convinced that they do not need to read any book to enable them to run their business. Well, think again. This is a book that sparks ideas and gives you a framework to propel business growth. Scaling isn't easy - and anyone who has tried knows that is an understatement. While there is no magic answer, this book will give you, your board and your team strategies for scaling that produce results.
This is not a book of fancy words and empty promises; it is a book written by someone who has been there and done it, has the battle scars to prove it and is prepared to share the secrets of that success with othersMargaret Manning OBE, entrepreneur, diversity advocate and former chair of the UK-ASEAN Business Council
