2. WHAT THEY’RE SAYING //

GroupHub events are always stimulating and inspirational. They also remind you that there is a significant and lively design community based in Lancashire by the large numbers that consistently turn up.
Ben Casey : Creative Director, The Chase

Having now been fortunate enough to have talked at a couple of GroupHub events I am always taken aback at the fantastic turn-out Steve always manages to get. It can’t just be because of the free food and drink. I always enjoy the evening and even managed to get a great new client after one of the talks!
Richard Scholey : Creative Director, Elmwood

If you’re paranoid and protective about your precious ideas. If you hide your mistakes rather than sharing and learning from them. If you bottle up all the things you’re thinking, plotting and doing. Then GroupHub will make you feel very, very uncomfortable.
Jonathan Rigby : Partner, LOVE

Dinosaur tried GroupHub a while back and found it to be a hotbed of creativity. It’s hard to create a buzz and keep it going, yet Steven Hub has achieved exactly that. Expect to find a bar full of young whippersnappers keen to talk about anything from kerning to Kessels Kramer long into the night. Make the trip to Preston soon because Lancashire is happening. You could even end the night in Tokyo Joe’s.
Mark Beaumont : Creative Director, Dinosaur

Group Hub has become indispensible to the creative design community of Lancashire and the surrounding area. They promote interesting and informative discussion, something that lies at the core of D&AD and its key aims. We look forward to contributing to future GroupHub events and doing our bit to motivate and inspire.
Holly Hall : Awards Director, D&AD

Group Hub is a great way of tapping into what’s important in the creative industries. Their events inspire, inform and impact creative businesses in a way that other events don’t. So if you want to know where things are at, get networking with Group Hub. The more you support them the more they can continue to support you.
Deborah Dawton : Chief Exec, Design Business Association

There’s a creative spirit surging through the UK, which has every chance of achieving the government’s aim of making this the world’s creative hub. England’s South West and North West regions have spawned burgeoning creative communities which ensure the future is no longer London-centric. And nowhere is this better celebrated than with the phenomenal success of Lancashire’s GroupHub. Creative minds clustering together with shared ideals and a common goal. To promote business growth.

I was delighted to take part in the Awards debate at GroupHub, a stellar panel and great turnout made this a very worthwhile event to take part in.
