S5 | Episode 1 | Mark Mullen of Atom Bank: The 4 Day Working Week: Tried, Tested & Implemented

Published: Oct. 24, 2022, 11 p.m.

We're back with Season 5 of The Start-Up Diaries and its safe to say that we're back with a bang! 

To kick things off, Chris sits down with Mark Mullen, CEO of Atom Bank, a Soonicorn & the UK's fist app-based bank. 

In this episode, Mark talks us through Atom Banks decision to implement a 4 day working week: from the logistics & the trial period to the outcomes and why the business has decided to implement the 4 day week permanently. 

Mark also discusses his approach to assessing risks and flipping the narrative to 'what might go wrong if you don't act?'.  He also gives his thoughts on the Tech scene in the Northeast of England and the advantages and disadvantages of growing a business like Atom Bank outside of London. 

A great episode to kick of the season and a business to keep an eye on, with a very exciting future ahead!
