We’ve spoken to fast-growing businesses across the country to bring you successful entrepreneur stories to inspire and inform.  We look forward at the companies to watch in our ‘Ones to watch’ section, and look back at the early days of the UK’s biggest businesses in ‘Something got me started’. Young successful entrepreneurs are profiled in ‘Young Guns’, our annual list of the UK’s most exciting entrepreneurs under 35, and in ‘FGBA profiles’ you can read about which business entrepreneurs have won our prestigious Fast Growth Business Awards.</description>    <language>en-gb</language>    <docs>http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss</docs>    <ttl>20</ttl>    <item>      <title>Blur Group: Philip Letts</title>      <description>The true story behind the UK's newest public company and the remarkable tech entrepreneur who started it</description>      <link>http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/blur-group-philip-letts.html</link>      <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/blur-group-philip-letts.html</guid>      <pubDate>Thu, 4 Oct 2012 22:22:44 GMT</pubDate>      <category>Business</category>    </item>    <item>      <title>Specsavers' Dame Mary Perkins</title>      <description>The Specsavers' co-founder on successful organic growth, managing a vast network, and dealing with tough calls</description>      <link>http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/specsavers-dame-mary-perkins.html</link>      <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/specsavers-dame-mary-perkins.html</guid>      <pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 14:27:10 GMT</pubDate>      <category>Business</category>    </item>    <item>      <title>Accommodation for Students, Vincent Bond, and P6.com: William Berry</title>      <description>Serial entrepreneur, Young Gun, and new Growing Business columnist William Berry on running businesses in three locations at once</description>      <link>http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/accommodation-for-students-vincent-bond-and-p6-com-william-berry.html</link>      <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/accommodation-for-students-vincent-bond-and-p6-com-william-berry.html</guid>      <pubDate>Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:52:18 GMT</pubDate>      <category>Business</category>    </item>    <item>      <title>One to watch: Base79</title>      <description>How Ashley MacKenzie has carved a niche in the media - with help from his famous father</description>      <link>http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/one-to-watch-base79.html</link>      <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/one-to-watch-base79.html</guid>      <pubDate>Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:12:48 GMT</pubDate>      <category>Business</category>    </item>    <item>      <title>NationalField: Ed Saatchi</title>      <description>The son of one of Britain's most famous businessmen tells us how he's making a name for himself - with help from Barack Obama</description>      <link>http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/nationalfield-ed-saatchi.html</link>      <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.growingbusiness.co.uk/nationalfield-ed-saatchi.html</guid>      <pubDate>Tue, 6 Dec 2011 16:10:50 GMT</pubDate>      <category>Business</category>    </item>    <item>      <title>Marc Worth</title>      <description>After WGSN co-founder Marc Worth sold the business for £142m, he tried his hand at retirement, angel investing and sunbathing – but found that the only thing he really enjoyed was entrepreneurship.
