Show notes
In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, we dive into the inspiring journey of Louise Hampton, founder of Attend2Health, a thriving multidisciplinary health clinic based in Buntingford.
Starting in 2007 with just three rented treatment rooms, Louise has scaled her business into a nine-room, fully owned clinic with a community studio – all housed in a former Barclays Bank. Louise shares the bold decisions, financial risks, and long-term planning that made this transformation possible.
We explore how Louise navigated rising costs, developed new revenue streams like Pilates classes, and maintained a strong financial buffer to ensure sustainability. But it’s not just about numbers – her people-first approach, deep community engagement, and values-driven leadership shine through as key drivers of growth and retention.
Whether you're a clinic owner, a service-based business founder, or just looking for inspiration to take the next big step in your scaleup journey, Louise’s story is full of practical lessons and real-world resilience.
One key takeaway? Strategic ownership of your business premises can be a game changer – if you’re willing to take the leap.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
