Judith MacKenzie has a 'death wish'... she is an eventer. It means that most weekends she can be found in her Land Rover, towing a horsebox around the country to compete at equestrian events. It's not a surprise to discover that the head of Downing Fund Managers is a gritty competitor who enjoys a challenge. Judith credits her 'Scottish Presbyterian work ethic', handed down from her small business owning parents, for her attitude to hard work and desire to dig into the details of the Aim-listed firms she invests in.

Episode 14 of the All Points West Podcast takes us on a journey from the Northern Highlands, where Judith grew up, to spotting the hidden gems listed on Aim... with a little help from the spreadsheets, management meetings and factory visits.
