Bonkers Student Nights - Night club brand built from 17 year olds to go on and franchise to fund me through university. It tackled the issue of anti social behaviour in our local towns with underage drinking, hanging around town centres and fake IDs by creating a brand of club nights which catered for the mixed aged group of 16-21 year olds.
Start Up Box - is a social enterprise I founded to encourage entrepreneurial mindsets where they are discouraged, predominately in schools & prisons. We build software and online learning on top of speaker events, workshops and bootcamps.
Created the second largest UK university sporting event 'XpLosION' at the University of Birmingham, with in excess of 6000 participants, Sky Sports Coverage and online live stream. The event still exists today and continues to grow.
- I graduated from the New Entrepreneurs Foundation in London in 2014 and continue to be supported by them and their fantastic network. I still benefit for a few mentors and coaches, such as co-founder of NextJump and UCL Advances,
- Currently I am part of the Lloyds Banking School for Social Entrepreneurs 2015/16 cohort. With two mentors and a collective cohort of like minded social entrepreneurs.
- We are in partnership with eight charities currently such as War Child, Woman Kind, Trees for the Future, Mines Advisory Group, Women & Children First and Citrus Saturday.
- There are also retail partners like Notonthehighstreet.com, NextJump and a few selected ethical stores. (alot more to come :)
