Start-up businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs in Swansea soon have the chance to be inspired by the man behind a city centre axe-throwing venture.
Matthew Griffin, sole founder and director of Lumberjack Axe Throwing, will be on hand to explain how passion can drive businesspeople to overcome obstacles and achieve goals.
He first set up Lumberjack Axe Throwing in 2019, with the business also having a venue in Cardiff.
Recently, Griffin also launched a virtual reality room at Lumberjack Axe Throwing in Swansea. It gives people the chance to use headsets to play a range of adventure and puzzle games.
The start-up enterprise club events are funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Matthew Griffin said: “I first recognised the potential of an axe-throwing activity business when I saw it done in London and realised there was a gap in the market in South Wales.
“It’s an activity that such a diverse range of people can try and enjoy.
“There are a lot of people in Swansea with great business ideas, so I look forward to meeting everyone in attendance at the start-up enterprise club and talking about my tips and business experiences so far.”
Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s cabinet member for investment, regeneration and tourism, said: “Matthew is a great example for other aspiring businesspeople out there because he can explain first-hand how his passion and drive has led to a successful business.
“The enterprise club for start-up businesses and people with business ideas is just one of the ways our business support team is on hand to assist Swansea businesses.
“There’s also a regular power hour event with tips for businesspeople as well as a series of business grants we’ve made available through the UK Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.”
Organised by Swansea Council, a free start-up enterprise club is taking place at Lumberjack Axe Throwing on Dillwyn Street from 10am till 11.30am on Tuesday (24 October).
