TMT:65 Henry Semmence & Simon Wills On Building A Label Services Giant & Surviving Utopia
Description
Welcome to The Money Trench! This week, Mark is joined by Henry Semmence and Simon Wills, co-managing directors of Absolute Label Services.
As pioneers of the label services model that transformed the modern business, the pair share the story of how they created an independent empire — and how they’re bouncing back after their time under the Utopia umbrella.
With roots in retail, record labels, and distribution, Henry and Simon recount how Absolute has survived and thrived through every major industry shift and why independence means so much to them.
