Entrepreneurial Insights from the 50th Great British Business Show: My Meeting with Stoyan Staykov

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the 50th Great British Business Show at the London Excel, a bustling event filled with thousands of passionate entrepreneurs, innovators, and business leaders from across the UK.

It’s one of those events where the energy is palpable, and each conversation you have holds the potential to spark new ideas and partnerships.

For me, it was a great day to reconnect with old friends and clients, and I was thrilled to see so many business owners eager to grow and innovate.

Meeting with Stoyan Staykov of Snappy Rubbish Removal and Man and Van Rubbish Removal Ltd.

One of the highlights of my day was catching up with Stoyan Staykov, a long-time client of ClickDo and a personal friend. Stoyan and I have worked together for over six years on his leading waste removal company Snappy Rubbish Removal, and I’ve watched with admiration as he’s grown his ventures with determination and vision. This time, he was wearing his hat as the founder of Man and Van Rubbish Removal Ltd.—one of his latest endeavors that he’s building into a leading nationwide waste clearance business.

Meeting with Stoyan was more than just a friendly catch-up; it was a deep dive into the journey of entrepreneurship, resilience, and ambition. We talked about how he started Man and Van Rubbish Removal Ltd. and why he’s so committed to transforming it into a trusted, nationwide brand. Stoyan’s drive to make waste removal efficient and accessible across the UK aligns with the mindset of many other entrepreneurs I met at the show—thinking big, scaling fast, and providing a service that genuinely makes life easier for people.

Stoyan’s journey as a startup founder is a reminder of what’s possible with the right blend of strategy and persistence. He’s not only solving a problem but creating job opportunities and setting an example in the industry. As someone who’s been part of his digital growth journey through ClickDo, it’s inspiring to see him grow his business and make waves in the waste management sector.

Events like the Great British Business Show are essential for connecting with fellow entrepreneurs like Stoyan, exchanging stories, and keeping up with the latest trends. Each conversation is a valuable learning experience and a source of motivation. As we discussed our shared experiences, I walked away with a renewed sense of purpose and pride in being part of such a dynamic community.

This year’s show was truly special, and I’m already looking forward to next year, knowing it will bring new faces, fresh ideas, and more inspiring stories like Stoyan’s.
