Join us at Space Antrim for a morning of networking and candid conversation with one of Northern Ireland's most respected voices in franchising and business consultancy, Stephen Downey.
With decades of hands-on experience building, advising on and scaling franchise businesses, Stephen has seen it all - the wins, the wobbles, and everything a founder wishes someone had told them at the start.
In this relaxed conversation, he'll share:
โข The realities of franchising - is it the right route for your business (or your next venture)?
โข Lessons from a career spent building and advising entrepreneurs
โข How to plan for life after retirement - succession, exit strategy, and knowing when (and how) to step back
Come for the insight, stay for the networking - this is a rare chance to connect with fellow local business owners while hearing straight-talking advice from someone who's built a career on it.
