Wednesday, 6 May 2026 - 48 minutes
Leaving school at 15 with no GCSEs and a teacher who told him he'd struggle to amount to anything. That was Ollie Mourant's starting point. What followed was 30 jobs, a beer-fuelled lunch conversation that sparked a business idea, and the founding of Enhanced Investments.
Luke Smith sits down with Oliver Mourant, co-founder of Enhance Investments and co-founder of Rialto Investment Partners, in this episode of #GreatAtBusiness.
Listen to this for advice and insights on:
- Why a healthy dose of naivety is one of the most underrated assets in business
- How relationships, not sales processes, built Enhance's early client base
- The real cost of growing too fast across too many geographies at once
- When to borrow to invest in technology, and why Enhanced's automation bet changed everything
- Why personal relationship and trust will still matter more than AI in Jersey business over the next five years
