Former Dragon Den Star to appear at 'An Evening With' event at Salisbury Playhouse

Friday, 14 February 2025 10:49

Salisbury business leaders and aspiring entrepreneurs have a fantastic opportunity to hear from one of the UK's most successful businessmen.

Nick Jenkins, the founder of Moonpig and former Dragon's Den investor, will be in Salisbury on February 27th for an exclusive "An Evening With..." event hosted by the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce.

This is a chance to learn directly from the man who built a household name from a simple idea. Nick Jenkins will share his incredible journey, from the early days of Moonpig to his experiences in the Den and beyond.

He'll be discussing the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the importance of decisiveness and risk-taking, and his insights into building a successful business.

Expect to hear about his views on embracing failure, efficient spending, and finding success in existing markets. He'll even touch on his decision to sell Moonpig and his perspective on what truly constitutes success in business and life.

While his focus is now on sustainable energy, last year he opened the South Wilts Ski Club, an indoor infinity ski slope in Bapton in the Wylye Valley where he lives.

This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in business, whether you're a seasoned professional, a budding entrepreneur, or just curious about the secrets behind building a brand like Moonpig.

Those in attendance will also have the opportunity to pose their questions to Nick.

Tickets include arrival drinks and canopes.

Date: Thursday 27^th February
Time: 5pm until 7pm
Venue: Salisbury Playhouse
Cost: £30 members / £40 non-members
