Tristam Mayhew Go Ape

Why did you choose Cranfield?

Go Ape's Tristam Mayhew chose Cranfield University's Business Growth and Development Programme after receiving advice from professionals who have successfully run, or are running, equivalent-sized businesses.

What was Cranfield's impact

After completing Cranfield University's Business Growth and Development Programmes, Go Ape went from £100k a year profit in 2006 to just over £1m by the end of 2008. The company now achieves a turnover of £12.4m and employ in excess of 650 people.

Tristam Mayhew says, "The Business Growth and Development Programme was a revelation! We were learning from real business challenges and identifying real opportunities for our own business. Go Ape is now on the UK’s 100 fastest growing independently owned businesses. It wouldn’t have happened without the Business Growth and Development Programme!”
