Work is Accountable

Gary King helps business owners to have the freedom to choose where, when and how they work.

After 25 years in high-growth businesses delivering results at a senior level, Gary knew he could use his skills to help SMEs. A straight-talking, no-nonsense Yorkshire man, he now helps ambitious business owners create more time, more money and more choice with a range of online and in-person programmes.

His passion comes from bitter experience. When he started his business in 2010 he was regularly at his desk in the early hours doing expenses and missing his son’s football matches just to keep on top of work. And the guilt that came with that situation was almost overwhelming.

Having turned around his business and his lifestyle as a result, Gary now runs three successful businesses and it’s this experience he uses to help other entrepreneurs stop feeling guilty, start earning what they are worth, and giving them the ability to make choices about how they spend their time. He creates the freedom to choose.

Gary says, “I started Tendo because I was heartbroken that 95% of small business owners fail and I wanted to change those stats. I am driven by working with owner managed small businesses to develop high growth strategies and support them to take action and deliver the highest possible results.”

Gary is also The Director of The Association of Business Mentors and sits on their Executive Team.

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
