Young Entrepreneurs in Tamworth - New Wave Reshaping Town Centre

Is a new generation of entrepreneurs helping to reshape Tamworth? 👀 There’s something interesting happening in our town centre. This weekend, 26-year-old entrepreneur Kai McConomy opened Stay Tidy, a new independent vintage and preloved clothing store on College Lane. Meanwhile, Brew, founded by 19-year-old former Lift Rawlett School pupil Amy Collins, is already expanding less than 12 months after opening. Amy is moving into a much larger town centre premises, expanding the café offer and joining forces with her partner and Tamworth Football Club player, Charlie Edge, also 19, who will be introducing a Pilates studio on the first floor. That’s three young people, all under 30, investing their time, ideas and ambition into Tamworth. And it got me thinking… Are we seeing a new wave of young entrepreneurship in Tamworth? Because if Kai, Amy and Charlie are just three examples, I suspect there are plenty more we haven't heard about yet. So, for the November edition of Tamworth Means Business, I’d love to find them. If you’re a young entrepreneur who has started, taken over or is growing a business in Tamworth — whether you have a shop, work from home, operate online, provide a service or are building something completely new — I want to hear from you. You can provide infomation via our 'share your story' contribution form https://lnkd.in/ecrmFgvR Equally, if you know someone locally who deserves a bit of recognition, tag them below. I'd love to explore what is encouraging a younger generation to go into business, why they're choosing Tamworth and what they think the future of the town could look like. Maybe there’s more youthful entrepreneurial energy in Tamworth than we realise. 💡 #TamworthMeansBusiness #YoungEntrepreneurs #Tamworth
