London’s leading business club, Home Grown is bringing its Rockstar on the Road series to Manchester next week with an evening with Jo Fairley, co-founder of successful organic chocolate company Green & Black’s.
The Rockstar On The Road Goes To Manchester event is on Wednesday 29th March at 6.30pm at Hotel Gotham. Expect an evening of inspiring conversation with Jo Fairley, the mastermind behind Green & Black‘s sale. She will share her story from start, scale to sale to Cadbury and learnings in conversation with ScoreApp Co-Founder Daniel Priestley.
Previous events as part of Home Grown’s Rockstar series, have seen conversations with some of the biggest names in entrepreneurship, from Levi Roots to Kelly Hoppen. Speakers at these events are true rockstars in their fields, and this will be the first time the show has been brought to Manchester for the first time. It also includes the opportunity for a Q&A and networking.
Green & Black’s was founded in London in 1991, by husband and wife, Craig Sams and Jo Fairley. Craig was the organic pioneer, opening Britain’s first natural food shop in 1969. Upon his quest for organic peanuts, he came across what was soon to be Green & Black’s – organic cocoa. He commissioned a sample of chocolate with 70% cocoa, real vanilla, and most importantly it was organic. The first of its kind in the UK. As a journalist, Jo knew this chocolate had to be taken to market.
All guests booked for the event will be offered 15% off rooms at hotel Gotham as well as 15% off at the BAR. For anyone driving, valet parking will be available for £35 overnight and Bentley transfer locally are available as well. Please send these enquiries to reservations@hotelgotham.co.uk
