    • Bob Laishley | Caterham Cars - Apprentice to CEO
      Oct 28 2024

      CEO of Caterham Bob Laishley is on this extraordinary episode of The Ignition Podcast.


      From Apprentice to CEO, Bob's career isn't one of flash glamour and fame. Bob is as humble as they come he's probably the same guy from the midlands who wanted to work hard, do right by his employer and get the job done.


      No, pretending to be someone he's not, Bob is a true salt-of-the-earth guy who happened to end up at the right place at the right time.
