From those early days, the business grew rapidly; buying its own building, expanding operations, opening stores in London and even briefly in Tokyo, and developing projects that blurred the lines between retail, wellbeing and community, including the creation of the much loved community sauna at Walpole Bay tidal pool.Dom will speak candidly about the realities behind the growth: attracting large-scale investment, managing ambition and risk, and the pressures that come with scaling a values-led business. He will also address the set backs; offering an honest insight into the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and what resilience really looks like when the numbers are challenging.This is a story about building from the coast, staying rooted in place while thinking globally, and navigating the tension between purpose, growth and sustainability.Who should attend:Founders, high street businesses, creative and product-led brands, and anyone interested in scaling a business from a coastal town; or understanding what it truly takes to grow. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/margate/building-a-global-brand-from-the-kent-coast-with-dom-bridges/100001981745083893 - **Event Categories**: Business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Margate - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Olby's Creative Hub - **lat**: 51.3904578 - **long**: 1.3816837 - **full address**: Olby's Creative Hub, 4 Fort Hill, Margate, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Building a Global Brand from the Kent Coast, with Dom Bridges - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/4dac0b25d8756cac6e4ff5705038e406e024f6bffc2c830d2106a9748f9a988b-rimg-w1000-h667-dcc0d5db-gmir.jpg?v=1769608146 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Building a Global Brand from the Kent Coast, with Dom Bridges being held? - **A:** Building a Global Brand from the Kent Coast, with Dom Bridges takes place on Mon, 09 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 09 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Olby's Creative Hub, 4 Fort Hill, Margate, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Building a Global Brand from the Kent Coast, with Dom Bridges? - **A:** Building a Global Brand from the Kent Coast, with Dom Bridges is organized by Ramsgate Space CIC. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
