About our speakers:
Andrew Scott, CEO of The Ascot Group
Andrew Scott grew up during the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, facing trauma and PTSD from a very young age. Moving to England at 18, he embarked on a business career that would see him build multiple companies, lose everything in one bad deal, and start over again with nothing but an old car to his name.
Today he is the CEO of the Ascot Group where he scaled several 7-figure companies simultaneously while building a large property portfolio and becoming a renowned business investor. In 2012 Andrew founded one of the UK’s leading B2B media companies, Business Leader, introducing him to a world of billionaires, celebrities and political leaders. In 2023 it was acquired by Richard Harpin, the tycoon who sold Homserve PLC for £4.1 billion.
Andrew will share his incredible story of success and failure, and his battle to overcome trauma and imposter syndrome.
Shaun Bartle, Founder of Blue Wolf Assets
Shaun Bartle is a driven entrepreneur, accountant, and property investor with a passion for growth, resilience, and legacy. Raised on a council estate in Essex, Shaun developed an unshakeable work ethic and discipline from a young age, shaped further by martial arts and early academic success. He began his career in finance at McLaren Construction and rapidly progressed through roles at London Executive Aviation and Falcon Group, becoming Finance Manager of a $3.6bn firm by 23. He later co-founded and scaled a specialist tax firm to 7-figure revenues before exiting in 2022. Today, Shaun now leads Blue Wolf Assets and Blue Wolf Consultancy, focusing on property investment and strategic business growth. He has raised over £500k in joint venture funding and helped scale multiple firms.
