People say I'm good at making things happen.I founded and lead BLOOM.SPACE, the Bloom Incubator and Bloom Accelerate where we provide cost-effective coworking, business incubation and acceleration to small companies. Our Malvern campus is in a Grade II listed manor house in the heart of Great Malvern and the Rugby office is a modern open-plan space right on the main shopping street in the centre of town.We're linking rural and regional businesses with the London startup and investment ecosystem, as well as providing a location with some much-needed fresh air and countryside to frazzled founders!We’ve incubated some pretty successful startups since opening in 2016 and provide them with as much mentoring, coaching, advice, training and support as they need along their business journey. Key to most startup success is access to funding (investment) and talent, both of which we will help with, along with the mentoring and other support.Having been very fortunate to travel extensively across Europe, into Africa and Asia working on a range of startup programmes over the last 13 years, I decided to set up BLOOM.SPACE and draw together the most effective elements of what I've seen, my personal network and to provide a space for small businesses to bloom.I’m also the UK Director for the Japanese accelerator company “Leave a Nest” where we invest small seed funds in deep tech companies, link investors and big corporations to startups, and forge links between Japan’s advanced engineering and manufacturing resources and UK companies.In addition, I manage UCL's kids' entrepreneurship education programme, Citrus Saturday, growing it from a London pilot and establishing it in 16 countries across Europe and Africa. Citrus Saturday has taught 1000’s of kids new entrepreneurship and innovation skills, involving 100’s of volunteers since 2012. Most recently we launched in Burkina Faso - one of the world's poorest countries and have won awards in Camden and Madrid for work with inner-city kids.
