WHO HAVE WE GOT FOR YOU THIS MONTH??
They say every overnight success is 10 years in the making. If that’s the case, then Richard and Kerry have done it twice, the 10 years and the success!
A serial entrepreneur, Richard founded his first company when he was 20 years old, with no idea what he was doing and no support, but a determination and drive that propelled him forward.
His first success was in 2009, printing t-shirts out from every room he could put his handson, in an old three storey pub. Working his team to the ground, cutting and printing vinyl onto t-shirts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until he almost had a mutiny on his hands from an exhausted workforce. This is where Richard learnt that not all his employees shared the same relentless drive he had.
Enter stage left and you can see Kerry and the two of them newly married after meeting as young adults.
They knew things couldn't continue this way and they knew they had more value to give, but their high street retail brand clients seemed to care less about quality and value but only about the bottom line coming down.
So together they reimagined how and where they could add more value. They moved into digital on demand printing and fulfillment for influencers and “One Man Brands”, as Richard calls them.
“We realised there was a huge market to provide an end to end solution to small brands who had a huge reach, that were not large corporates”.
Wrong partnerships, poor service, a few hundred thousand pounds and a coupe of years later, they were ready and tested their product on one customer to begin with, adding more and more value until they perfected it.
Still in its first year, Tshirtify have built a strong board, on track to reach £1.2m this year and exponential plans to reach £14m in 4 years.
We are excited to have Richard and Kerry join us in November, another power couple on our stage who together give their time to local schools encouraging entrepreneur education and using their model and business to give young students an opportunity to think about their lives and futures differently.
We look forward to you joining us at our new private venue, Evelyn's Restaurant in the Northern Quarter on the ground floor.

WHAT ARE YOU COMING TO?
Manchester is proud to host Entrepreneur City Social. Part of Roger Hamilton's International Entrepreneur Institute. It is a monthly event designed to connect Manchester’s very own vibrant community of Entrepreneurs, Thought Leaders, Change Makers and Do Good-ers with the very latest tools for accelerating trust and flow in your lives to create a bigger, long lasting impact on the world.
Think TEDx style presentations crossed with open discussions to dig deeper into the juicy stuff. Each social we will be inviting a successful Entrepreneur to share their story, their triumph, their woe’s, lessons and actions to take away. All this surrounded by a supportive network of peers in a relaxed environment to nurture your mind, body and soul..with plenty of time afterwards to stay for drinks and widen your personal circle of friends.
The Northern Powerhouse is happening. It might take time for governments to catch up, but people can make a change today. Manchester has been cited as the seed of change for the new wave of businesses that will shape the UK and world to come.
Meet your Entrepreneurial tribe, find your personal flow, plant the seed, and watch everything grow.

With a strong ethos for sustainability and being a business for good themselves, co-working space The Daisy is the perfect partnership for our monthly socials.

LOGISTICS AND COSTS
Located in the Northern Quarter of Manchester. Leave the car at home and use Manchester’s clean, above ground metro to transport you or if that’s not possible then there is off road parking. You never know, after a few meetings you might be the source of transport for your own cluster of Entrepreneurs creating your own impact, reducing carbon emissions.
To help make the Entrepreneur Socials accessible to people in all stages on their journey, we do our best to keep these events as low cost as possible.
Meetings are complementary however we do ask for suggested donations of £5 for those who can afford it to make the meetings sustainable.
