Been There, Built That
Masterclasses from those who've been there, done that and learned the lessons.
Preston Partnership are pleased to introduce Been There, Built That - a new series of Preston Partnership masterclasses led by people who've been there, done that and learned the lessons while building thriving businesses!
The series is launching 11 June at Cotton Court Business Centre with special guests Luke Massie and Kirsty Henshaw, in conversation with Preston Partnership board member, Rob Binns.
Network over pizza and beer, prosecco and soft drinks with other entrepreneurs, aspiring and established business owners.
Luke Massie and Kirsty Henshaw have been there, done that. They have both built successful companies that have had national success, navigated investment and continue to build their businesses and brands.
Join us for an informal discussion, hosted by Rob, talking through their success stories and some of the challenges they have faced along the way. Be inspired, ask questions - and take some valuable insights back to the office.
About Kirsty Henshaw:
Kirsty Henshaw hit the headlines in 2010 when she found success on Dragon's Den with her dairy-free alternative to ice cream. Fifteen years later, Kirsty's has its own state-of-the-art food factory in Yorkshire, a new MyProtein Licensed partnership, and continues to be a leading brand in the "free from" space, with new investment backing. A single mum, originally from Preston, Kirsty has navigated major complications, like receiving the keys to her new factory four weeks before the first lockdown alongside delays and shortages caused by Brexit. However, with 85 employees, Kirsty's is still growing, innovating and identifying new opportunities
About Luke Massie:
Luke Massie sold his first business when he was 19 years old. In 2017, he was listed as one of the UK's top 100 young entrepreneurs as he gained national fame and support from high profile businessman, Richard Brandson, for Vibe Tickets. Luke faced some serious challenges along the way, including Vibe Tickets going into administration. VibePay was later born as he pivoted from tickets to payments during the dramatically-changing landscape of the pandemic. More recently, Luke has made headlines again with Banked's acquisition of VibePay - already a market leader in its own right.
And if you miss this one, the next Been There, Built That event will be held at Society1 on Wednesday 9 July, 6pm-8pm. Details to follow closer to the date.
