About Andy
“In 2017 my co-founders and I exited our 50-person service business for a 7-figure sum. Four years earlier it had made a loss of £14,000. After the sale I spent some time considering the reasons for our success and developed a method to help small business owners improve the profitability of their businesses. The PAIN method focuses on improvements in four key areas which can help you double your profits.”
In an era where sustainability takes centre stage, this morning is tailored for SME decision makers with a keen interest in championing sustainability as a core value.
We understand that a sustainable business isn’t solely about the product or service you offer; it’s about what your company stands for. It’s about the message you convey to the world on how a purpose-led business should operate, even if your primary offering isn’t inherently sustainable.
Today, we delve into the powerful realm of digital marketing and SEO, dissecting how these tools can amplify your message and enhance your impact. By the end of this event, you will understand what sustainability means to your business and be equipped with the strategies to present and amplify that message effectively.
As you enjoy this sustainably-sourced breakfast, prepare for insightful discussions, and strong networking opportunities, envision how your organisation can become a force for good through the lens of digital marketing.

According to the World Economic Forum, critical thinking and problem-solving skills are at the top of the skills list that employers believe will grow in prominence over the next five years. But how often do we leave a workshop feeling frustrated that we haven’t achieved the intended outcome, deflated by the lack of energy or participation in the room, or annoyed that it’s been derailed by competing agendas or personalities?
Packed with handy tools, techniques and tips, this half-day interactive session will help participants design and facilitate more productive, memorable and inclusive workshop experiences, delivering high value and impact for their teams and clients.
Anyone wanting to run brilliant workshops, whether they’re new to it or looking to hone their skills with some useful tips and techniques.

While we always strive for success, failure is also a part of the startup story.
This event aims to demystify and destigmatise some of the pain points of the startup journey. The statistics about startup failures are out there, however the important stories behind these brands are not. These failures are rarely the end of a founder’s story and it’s this side (the pivot), as well as personal learnings and advice on navigating failure, that this event will explore.
Come to hear the stories, challenge the taboos and feel less scared with the word ‘failure’. Most importantly, come to find out that failing is by no means the end of the journey.
Panel:
– Lisa Matthews, COO for KETS Quantum Security previously founded HellyHolly.
– Simon Mcclive, General Manager of Labyrinth Screening at Ripjar previously founder of Gurn.
Agenda:
– Intro
– Startup story from founders
– Panel discussion
– Q&A
