Scaling Success with Robin Stanton-Gleaves, Chairman of Bromley FC

Robin’s journey is anything but conventional. After scaling a highly successful workplace print and workflow business, he took on a bold new challenge: acquiring Bromley FC, a club that had spent over 130 years outside the English Football League. Fast forward just a few years, and—through sharp leadership, strategic investment, and relentless execution—he’s helped drive the club into League One, achieving in years what hadn’t been done in over a century.

This session is designed for founders, operators, and builders. We’ll unpack:

• How to transition from operator to owner across industries

• What it really takes to scale under pressure

• Building high-performance teams that deliver results

• Maintaining drive, resilience, and momentum across ventures

Whether you’re growing a startup, leading a scale-up, or exploring your next big move, Robin’s experience offers practical lessons you can apply immediately.
