Over the last decade I have been the proud co-founder of a broad range of businesses which, in their own small way, are trying to shift the cultural landscape in which they operate to become more caring, connected and prosperous. I have learned the hard way what works and what doesn't. Through co-creating Bristol's biggest and most celebrated co-working space, to co-founding a range of well loved food and drinks businesses; I have had the honour of seeing a diverse range of fresh ideas transform from conversations over a pint, into cultural institutions that support thousands of people and permanently enrich the wider cultural landscape.
