Corbin highlights the importance of operating experience and a good partner while discussing what it’s like to blaze a trail in a new country, culminating in his acquisition of Beire Exhibitions.
Some advice from Corbin:
"I guess it doesn’t need to be said that it’s fairly ambitious. You have to have a lot of confidence in your thesis and in what you’re doing."
