The Entrepreneurial Spark ‘Hatchery’ throws up a galaxy of great inspiring stories and when this magazine recently judged one of the Acceler8 events, we yet again came face to face with our tomorrow.
One such bright spark is Aadam Patel. It is impressive that he has created a company called Halal Celebrations designing crackers and party ware for the Asian market, and another called Chit-Chat Celebrations for the non-Muslim market. Aadam is busy taking orders and growing his business. More impressive still is that he is just 15 years old.
The Hatchery is a breeding ground for start-up businesses with free support and advice offered by a variety of mentors and top professionals from NatWest and KPMG, and the Brighton Chamber of Commerce have re- located to the site. Such an incubator creates a breeding ground for talent. Aadam joinedthe Hatchery when he was 14 and travels to Brighton every day from his family home in East London.
