Conor is an economist, author and presenter with a passion to unravel global economic issues in an accessible way - with a sense of fun and adventure.
His book Around The World in 80 Trades and accompanying four part television series for Channel 4 tell the story of how he left his job in the City, sold his London flat and embarked on a round-the-world trading adventure. Travelling through four continents over 5 months, he turned his hand to making a profit out of everything from camels in Sudan to inflatable surfboards in Mexico, to discover how real people make real money in real markets.
He has recently spoken about his experiences at Hay-on-Wye and Borders International literary festivals and also presents an enterprise and innovation skills master class for the National Enterprise Academy
What People Said About 80 Trades
'Conor Woodman may be that rare thing - a likable city boy. Woodman wants to see if he can make his dosh by doing business the old way: face to face, haggling, buying and selling. With 25 grand of his own money from the sale of his flat, he sets off for Africa with no small aim in mind: to buy camels in Sudan, and double his money selling in Egypt. Enjoyable stuff, in amazing locations' Guardian
