Transformation Stories

These aren't theoretical case studies. They're real journeys from our programme participants who've gone from uncertainty to running sustainable businesses across different sectors.

Career Switcher

From NHS Administrator to Food Truck Empire

Priya started: Working night shifts in hospital administration, feeling trapped in bureaucracy, with no business background but a passion for Indian street food from her grandmother's recipes.

  • Completed financial planning modules while working full-time
  • Built business plan during weekend workshops
  • Secured £18,000 startup funding using programme guidance
  • Launched "Mumbai Nights" food truck in Manchester
  • Expanded to three trucks within fourteen months

Current Status: £68,000 annual revenue, employs 7 people

"I went from barely understanding profit margins to managing multiple revenue streams. The programme didn't just teach me business theory—it showed me how to actually build something sustainable."

Recent Graduate

From Student Debt to Digital Agency Owner

Marcus began: Fresh sociology graduate with £28,000 student debt, living back with parents, applying for entry-level jobs that required "3+ years experience" for supposedly junior positions.

  • Discovered freelance content writing during market research modules
  • Built client base using networking strategies from programme
  • Reinvested early earnings following cash flow management lessons
  • Hired first contractor after eight months
  • Established "Northside Digital" full-service agency

Current Status: £85,000 annual revenue, team of 12 freelancers

"Instead of competing for junior roles, I learned to create value for small businesses who couldn't afford big agencies. The programme taught me to spot opportunities, not just follow job boards."
