In this episode, we talk to Dan Earp-Jones, a former Royal Marines Reservist, Royal Signals soldier and the founder of Veteran Trees, a 3D design enterprise that makes beautiful bespoke signage and gifts from naturally felled wood and slate.

 

He has made stunning commissions for big organisations such as Edgar Brothers and the British MoD, private customers in special forces and elite military units, the US military and the wider veteran-owned business and enterprise community

 

We discuss how organic word-of-mouth has helped his business grow, the power of LinkedIn and Instagram, the importance of research and development, optimising the production process and managing customer communications.
