Left to right: Richard Smith and Paul Brown
Today’s Business Live show featured two successful creative Sheffield businesses sharing their advice and tips (as well as national and local business news).
Presenter Jamie Veitch was joined by illustrator Richard Smith and animator Paul Brown. Both shared their experience of setting up and running their businesses as well as their opinions on the state of the economy, business confidence – and how online and real-world networking have been beneficial to them.
Richard’s illustration, cartoon and caricature business encompasses work for corporate and individual clients – he’s even creating some comic book cover art for the new album by Down ‘n’ Outz – fronted by Sheffielder Joe Elliott of Def Leppard fame.
Paul is an animator, digital artist, consultant and tutor, and runs Flycheese Studio, teaching digital art specialising in working with people who need support to live their lives. His students’ work is entered into film festivals and competitions and his social enterprise, which like all businesses earns its own income, also creates hugely positive benefits for its clients.
Today’s show also featured figures about Britain’s economic growth and from the British Film Institute about the state of the UK film industry and news about a £14million investment into the Sheffield City Region, which was announced this week.
