Struggling to talk about your business? Need a confidence boost when introducing yourself? Or maybe you've got a pitch but need some pro feedback?

You’re definitely not alone! So many of us find it hard to explain what they do and why it matters, whether it’s to customers, partners or even just in casual chats.

That’s why we created Pitch & Mingle - a hands-on, friendly workshop to help you nail your pitch, feel more confident and connect with other small business owners. Whether you're brand new to business, working on your story, or just want to fine-tune your pitch for the festive rush, this session has your back.

Why you should come along:

Perfect your story: craft a pitch you’ll actually be excited to share. By the end, you’ll have a killer elevator pitch ready to go.

Real-time feedback: test your pitch and get constructive feedback in a super supportive space.

Learn from others: hear how other business owners pitch and share their challenges. You might even spark some new ideas just by listening!

Boost brand awareness: practice your pitch in front of potential customers, collaborators or even future cheerleaders.

Network & collaborate: meet like-minded small biz owners, swap ideas and maybe even spark new partnerships.

Don’t miss out - get your pitch in shape before the festive season and start owning those conversations!

Open to all ages over 18

Market & Me

One business owner I worked with grew his profit 15% while cutting over 350 labour hours. He’s exercising again, he’s more present with his family, and he read 23 books last year.

I work 1:1 with growing and established founders and businesses in retail, hospitality and lifestyle. If the tills aren’t busy enough, you’re working harder than ever and the profit isn’t moving, working harder won’t fix it. Strategy will.

And sometimes the problem is that you’re second-guessing decisions, carrying the lot on your own, and playing smaller than you could be. I’ll be your anchor here too, because your business will never outgrow the person running it.

I’ve spent 20+ years in retail and hospitality, half running teams and shops, half on the landlord side at Westfield and Transport for London. I know what founders need because I am one. I know what brands need because I grew up in them. I know what landlords need because I’ve sat in their meetings and developed their strategies.

If you’re not sure what’s next, I’ll look at the whole business with you. That might be a new site, a price rise, a tough call about your team, or working out where the profit has gone. You leave with a plan you can act on.
