As we get set to return to ‘live’ events, we could think of no better guest to launch our new podcast series than Thom Hetherington, the chief executive of Holden Media and a huge influencer and advocate for the Hospitality and events industry.

As we get set to return to ‘live’ events, we could think of no better guest to launch our new podcast series than Thom Hetherington, the chief executive of Holden Media and a huge influencer and advocate for the Hospitality and events industry.

In this fascinating discussion, Thom talks about his career journey, which has included two redundancies, two economic crashes and a near death experience. Despite these challenges, his business is in good shape and his passion for live events, bars, restaurants, Manchester, and the North shines through in his contribution here.

For an optimistic view of the future, for some key business lessons, and for some great stories, A Frank Conversation with Thom Hetherington is well worth a listen.
