Expert Masterclass Recap

You've probably heard the highlight reel version of entrepreneurship, the exit, the Lambo, the "quit your 9-to-5" clip. VestorGrow visited Andy Evangelou, CEO of Plug In Stations, an EV charging installation company he built from a garage into a multimillion-pound business, at his own office to get the version that actually happens.

Andy was blunt about what running a business really looks like from the inside, as the director, you're the first one in and the last one out, every single time. He broke down the misconceptions people carry about leadership, that it's about titles or authority, when really it's about belief. Your team is watching how you show up, whether you believe in the vision or you're just saying the words, and that either builds trust or quietly destroys it.

He also spoke on something most people underestimate, selling. Not just products, everything, yourself in an interview, your ideas in a meeting, your vision to a team you need on side. And he was clear that a business is only as strong as the people in it, choosing a team that represents excellence isn't a nice-to-have, it's what determines whether the vision survives contact with reality. His own journey, garage to multimillion-pound company, wasn't built on luck. It was consistency, self-belief, and full commitment to something before it had proven itself to anyone else.
