Peter Waddell, Vice Chairman, President, and CEO of Robert Half, appeared on the podcast "Behind The Climb" in July 2026, where he discussed his career trajectory from homelessness and working as a taxi driver to building The Big Motor Group, a major UK motor sales company. During the interview, he described his experiences with private equity exit, including a two-year legal battle that he characterized as involving defamation and stress. Waddell stated that the dispute centered on alleged breaches and control issues, and he encouraged others facing similar private equity situations to be cautious, saying that selling a stake could potentially "destroy your lifetime's work." Waddell also framed his legal fight as being about justice rather than money, and he expressed an intention to advocate for greater regulatory scrutiny of private equity firms, specifically mentioning the FCA. He shared personal details about his current life, including owning a home in Spain similar to his UK residence. The podcast description also notes that Waddell discussed his difficult upbringing, including abuse and living rough in London, which he said shaped his determination.
