From Manchester to Mallorca: Choosing Family Over Fortune | Andrew Clemence's Story

For many people, success means climbing the corporate ladder, earning more money and building a bigger career. For Andrew Clemence, it eventually meant something very different.

Originally from Manchester, Andrew spent 18 years helping grow a small travel company into one of the world's largest tourism businesses. At just 38, despite being on the board of a multinational company, he made a decision that shocked almost everyone around him: he walked away from it all and moved his family to Mallorca.

Nearly three decades later, Andrew reflects on what happened next.

In this conversation with Helen, he shares how Mallorca transformed his outlook on success, why he chose family over corporate ambition, and how he went on to build and scale businesses across hospitality, entertainment, tourism and coaching while creating a life with far greater balance.

Together they discuss:

Why he left a high-powered corporate career
Raising three children in Mallorca
Choosing the right schools and places to live
Building businesses from the island
The realities of relocating to Mallorca
Why success isn't always measured by wealth
The importance of community, health and purpose
Practical advice for anyone considering a move to Mallorca
