私人银行Coutts在2017年所做的研究发现,只有四分之一的英国企业家会在出售公司后退休。其他人寻求做各种事情:74%担任另一家公司的顾问,65%投资于一家公司,有一半的人会去做慈善。超过一半的人会再创办一家自己的公司。
The sale of Card Factory, which Mr Hoyle started with his wife Janet in 1997, to private equity allowed him to concentrate on his other loves: his three children and Huddersfield Town football club, which he owns and chairs. “I took the business from a £10,000 loan into a £60m ebitda business. Over those 12 years I saw very little of my children. They were with their grandparents at the weekend. I needed a work-life balance.”
霍伊尔与妻子珍尼特(Janet)在1997年创建了Card Factory,把公司出售给私人股本投资公司,让他得以把精力放在自己的其他爱好上:他有3个孩子,还有一家Huddersfield Town足球俱乐部。他是俱乐部的所有者,也是董事长。“Card Factory刚成立时贷款了1万英镑,我把它发展成了一家ebitda利润为6000万英镑的公司。那12年里,我看到孩子的机会很少。他们周末与祖父母度过。我需要获得工作与生活的平衡。”
He remained non-executive chairman after the sale to Charterhouse Capital Partners. When it floated the business in 2017 he stepped down to become a non-executive director.

I remember being sat in my living room designing it.”
