The Shape Programme Graduation

BBU’s Shape programme works with entrepreneurs from communities underrepresented in the sector. Join us in the New Year for an uplifting event, celebrating the 2025 cohort, that brings together start-up founders, freelancers and anyone curious about taking the first steps into self-employment.

This informal graduation event will give you the chance to:

• Meet entrepreneurs, focussed on social and environment change in the built environment, who have built their own ventures and hear insights on what helped them to get started
• Connect with freelancers working across the built environment.
• Learn and pick up practical tips on shaping an idea, building confidence and finding early clients.
• Grow your network in a relaxed and welcoming space.

We are delighted to have Shapers from the 2025 cohort joining us to share their journeys.:

• Amy Linford, Consultant
• Katie Fisher of CARD Projects
• Albane Duvillier of the House of Bricoleurs

We are proud to partner with the Useful Simple Trust and thank them for supporting this event.
