4. Di Gates, Rez Gachcar, Rosie Bath A Cast of Entrepreneurs

Join us as we welcome another brilliant cast of entrepreneurs to the podcast for an honest look into their business lives. Hosts Elaine Stroud, Chief Executive of The Entrepreneurs’ Forum, and Sally Cowling, Head of Marketing, are joined by: Di Gates, a strategic marketing, business, and change consultant with 20 years of experience. Di has created Stick Theory, a collaboration consultancy offering both strategic planning and creative delivery, to help others grow their businesses. Di works with clients to find clear, effective solutions to complex challenges. Rez Gachcar, all-round innovator and inventor. Rez created Mud Daddy, an eco-friendly, mobile, and efficient cleaning device for washing pets, after identifying a gap in the market for this kind of product. Mud Daddy is now a multi-million-pound company, firmly established in the UK pet market. Rosie Bath, founder of Cera Cotton, a homeware and lifestyle brand which offers a range of non-plastic, waterproof textile products for everyday life. Cera Corron is a first of its kind sustainable business, using wax cotton as the primary fabric. Although wax cotton has been around for 500 years, it has never before been used to create products as Rosie has. We have some varied discussions with this cast, including why they wanted to become entrepreneurs, the journey of taking a product to market, the power of innovative thinking to generate ideas and find solutions to problems, and why the North East is a great place to grow a business. ...
