What does it really take to build a €500 million business, and what happens when everything you've spent decades building is suddenly destroyed? In this episode of Unfiltered, Sarah Jane Foster sits down with businessman and investor Philip Reynolds, son of former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds and former CEO of C&D Foods. Philip joined the family business at 18 and took over its leadership at just 25, when the company was generating approximately €10–15 million in turnover. He went on to oversee its expansion into a major European operation, with seven factories, nine international sales offices and €500 million in sales. But the journey was far from straightforward. Philip takes Sarah Jane inside the night a devastating factory fire left the business facing an uncertain future, the decisions that followed and what it takes to rebuild when everything is on the line. In a candid conversation, they explore leadership, family legacy, ambition, the loneliness of making difficult decisions and why Philip believes people can ultimately be the biggest disappointment in life. They also discuss the future of artificial intelligence, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and why, despite everything he has achieved, Philip still doesn't consider himself an entrepreneur. An Unfiltered conversation about business, resilience, people and the decisions that define a career.
