Introducing the new Devon Create Growth Programme Stage 2 cohort

The latest cohort came together for their first in-person workshop at Market Hall in Plymouth, where they met the fellow businesses taking part, alongside the partners supporting the programme.

Speakers included Mhairi Ambler of Falmouth University, Lindsey Hall from Real Ideas and Laura Giles from Screen Cornwall. Laura led them through an open conversation about business fails and learnings to better understand the opportunities and pitfalls of running a creative business.

The businesses were also joined by Tim Evans, Investment Director at Creative UK, who was on hand to talk to the cohort about what investors are looking for and stayed on to answer questions.
