'Sheaf Valley: A show about Sheffield's startups' is a podcast dedicated to Sheffield's startup ecosystem aiming to increase the visibility of startups and startup organisations in our city. 'Sheaf Valley' is supported by Sheffield Technology Parks, one of the integral parts of Sheffield's ecosystem.

In this new rubric, 'Around the UK', I'm talking with founders from other cities in the UK to get their unique insights on their ecosystems and learn about new interesting businesses. The first episode is with Lucy Blackley, founder of Bombyx PLM. Lucy comes from a fashion background and Bombyx PLM was created after she identified how a lot of time goes into admin tasks and this time could be better utilised in solving way more important problems like sustainability and ethics in manufacturing.

Make sure you follow 'Sheaf Valley' on Twitter or connect with my personal account on LinkedIn to get updates on new episodes and to get recommendations on great books and resources for your startup. Also, visit the official website and learn about initiatives that I'm trying to build from the ground.

Thank you for listening and wishing you a wonderful day!
