Wake Up to Money

Available for over a year

Skills learnt in the military could help ex-service personnel succeed in business, according to a new report. The research, commissioned by Time Reboot, found 40% of FTSE 100 companies had senior directors with a former military background. Chris Blackford, co-founder of drone-running firm Sky Future, said there were numerous transferable skills which helped him succeed in business. He told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 live's Wake Up to Money that these included: "Dealing with pressure, risk versus reward... simple things like being punctual, a good worth ethic and seeing something through." This clip is from Wake Up To Money 13 March 2014.
