stood Mike in good stead throughout
his business career because the Racz
Group is continuing to grow. The
latest expansion this year will see a
couple of new businesses added to
the portfolio from each brand, but
longer term there is potential for
dozens of sites.
And, as well as that sense of
responsibility towards his staff, he is
also passionate about wanting to see
the North-East – and especially the
Tees Valley – maximise its potential.
“When I look back, all the way
from my childhood in Hungary,
everywhere I’ve been has been the
underdog,” he says. “The North-East
is a fantastic region with beautiful
countryside and great people. It just
needs to believe in itself. You can do
you whatever you want in the whole
world from here in the Tees Valley –
you just have to dream big, then go
out and do it.”
It’s hard to escape the conclusion
that if they were still handing
out stickers, Mike Racz would be
drowning in them by now.
Dream big - Mike’s
advice for his fellow
entrepreneurs.
