It's Wednesday, which means another great episode of the Small Business Sessions podcast with Xero.

Every week, Enterprise Nation founder Emma Jones MBE speaks to entrepreneurs and experts about starting and growing a successful business.

This week, James Gold tells the inspiring story of fashion accessory brand Skinnydip London. He discusses its growth from an idea to selling through ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Selfridges and Top Shop and more plus his very ambitious plans to expand across the world.

You can listen to the podcast below and on iTunes and Stitcher. Don't forget to subscribe to get your weekly fix of the Small Business Sessions every Wednesday. We'd also love it if you could rate and review the podcast.

Following a degree in Law and Japanese, Emma joined international accounting firm Arthur Andersen, where she worked in London, Leeds and Manchester offices and set up the firm's Inward Investment practice that attracted overseas companies to locate in the UK. In 2000, bitten by the dot.com bug, Emma left the firm to start her first business, Techlocate. After 15 months, the company was successfully sold to Tenon plc. The experience of starting, growing and selling a business from a home base gave Emma the idea for Enterprise Nation which was launched in 2006 as the home business website. The company has since expanded to become a small business membership community of over 75,000 people who benefit from events and support: online and in person. Enterprise Nation also presents a campaigning voice to government and the media on behalf of its members. In 2021, Emma was awarded a CBE for services to small businesses and entrepreneurs.
