DESCRIPTION:This Venture Building Workshop will equip you with the skills
  necessary to build a million-pound company\, enhance your business acum
 en\, and recognise opportunities in your daily life. Simon aims to share
  his journey and will draw from his experience of establishing three com
 panies that have reached up to 5 million in value. He firmly rejects the
  idea that all entrepreneurs are born and not made\, and will give you t
 he confidence and skills set to conquer the fear of venturing into the u
 nknown.\n\nSimon is a successful entrepreneur who is deeply passionate a
 bout business and business education. He strives to bridge the gap betwe
 en business academia and practical business operations by sharing insigh
 ts and reflections from his dual roles as an academic and an active busi
 ness owner. His journey began in sales at Nissan\, where he discovered a
  passion for selling. Despite lacking business knowledge initially\, he 
 possessed a strong results-driven mindset and a knack for introspection.
  Over time\, his business acumen grew as he transitioned to a tool manuf
 acturer in Sheffield\, eventually leading to the creation of Electro Gro
 up\, a B2B hand tool distributor. In 2000\, he founded Buybrandtools\, a
 n online tool company\, after recognizing the potential of e-commerce. T
 oday\, it stands as one of the top 10 online tool retailers in the UK\, 
 offering premium brand tools like Bahco and Rubi. Additionally\, he esta
 blished Connell of Sheffield\, a company manufacturing products from var
 ious materials originally targeting the hand tool market\, completing my
  portfolio of hand tool companies.
