Every so often when I was at bp I got itchy feet, fancying myself as an entrepreneur (the type with a final salary scheme). I set up a HelloFresh-style local food business six years before HelloFresh and all its copycats, a proptech business providing human colour to estate agents’ details, a blog I planned to commercialise and a few others. They were side-hustles – and they usually faded once I got a promotion or something interesting popped up at bp.
