THUD Re-Launch March 2024
On 22nd March we hosted THUD Yorkshire at Humber Street Gallery, catered by The Magic Basket Co.
The night began with networking, discussions, and drinks as we got to know one another and prepare for the evening ahead. Next, 3 young entrepreneurs pitched their businesses to a captive audience.
Dylan Whiting of LLM Services went first and explained the origins of his PAT testing business and where he wishes to go in the future. Then Ashleigh Ward of Ward Cosmetics told us all the small things she does to make her clients comfortable. Finally, Alfie Murrell of SYM Resale talked about the environmental impact of fast fashion and how he wishes to combat it by selling refurbished clothing. Each pitch had something different and plenty of people were engaged. After food, more drinks, voting for a favourite pitch, and discussions, we heard from our guest speaker Ian Cass of the MicroBiz alliance- sponsors of the event, who advocates for micro businesses and pay in 30 days.
The overall winner of the business pitch was voted for by the attendees, and Alfie with his SYM Resale came out on top, winning a prize of £500 towards his business venture.
