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

I'm a business strategist and founder of Market & Me. I help established independent founders grow with confidence - after years of watching great businesses lose direction trying to do it all.

My career started in retail and hospitality, leading teams and running national brands. I then spent almost a decade working with landlords and developers including Westfield and Transport for London, leading strategy and performance across retail and mixed-use destinations.

That mix means I understand both sides: the founder balancing everyday realities, and the landlord focused on long-term results. Now, I bridge the gap, helping independent businesses perform at their best.

What I help with:

  • Finding clarity when you're scaling or figuring out what's next
  • Growing sustainably in a way that works for how you actually want to run your business
  • Standing out in crowded markets
  • Creating space to think strategically, not just operationally
  • Peer support through Founders Sessions - monthly work days for independent founders who get it

My approach is practical, people-first and grounded in experience. I help business owners step back from the noise, find clarity and make decisions that build businesses they're proud to run.

Because when people thrive, their businesses do too.
