About this Event
Growing a business is rarely a straight line. Many founders and leaders find themselves stuck in the “messy middle” — the stage where early momentum has passed, the next steps aren’t obvious, and decisions feel heavier.
This event brings together two experienced practitioners from very different worlds — property-led regeneration and technology-led growth — to explore what really helps businesses move forward when growth isn’t neat or predictable.
Through an informal fireside chat, Hugh Mulgrew and Andy Robinson will share honest reflections on navigating uncertainty, making decisions with incomplete information, and turning vision into traction.
The session will be practical, grounded and non-promotional, with time for audience questions and informal networking before and after the conversation.
