A year ago from today, I went to Scotland. My time spent there was one of the best I’ve ever had, learning about it’s deep history and visiting with new friends. I’ve wanted to go back ever since. Everything that says or mentions Scotland or the UK catches my eye, and that is how I found Stuart Maitland.

Being one of the top entrepreneurs in the UK, he is very young for all his accomplishments. He graduated from the Young Entrepreneurs Program in 2011, only to be put at it’s head in 2014 as Chairman. He oversees 17 board members in Central Northern London, solely from this position.

He is also a business consultant, and has many business interests as well as investments and has share in a property company and holdings company.

Above all, his most impressive accomplishment is his founding and maintaining CEO position of The Maitland Group. This is a firm which provides advice and administration to funds, offices and corporate services in an organized, one-firm manner. It is privately owned and independently run with around 1,000 employees and $250 billion in assets. Their way of dealing with clients is impressive. It is personal and, most importantly, proactive.

Stuart Maitland is a young entrepreneur. He is inspiring to me because he acts on his plans and ideas and makes them realities. This is, after all, the meaning of being an entrepreneur.
