Yesterday I joined the free Growth Leaders taster event at Exeter Science Park.

It was my third networking/course event as founder of design pitch, and the theme was simple but powerful: clarity, control, and confidence.

What I took away:

→ Systems are not a luxury, they are survival — and they give you freedom.
→ No matter your business size, the fundamentals are the same.
→ Being in the room and making friends amongst peers is how you survive and thrive.

I set off from Exeter at 6:30 on a crisp September morning with Future Islands playing — the Far Field album, fitting as I was heading to a field next to the woods for my second networking event.

The setting at Tawnamoor Rural Retreat was beautiful, the talks inspiring, and the people welcoming. I went in as a guest, left with new ideas, and a reminder that being in the room is not just a nice-to-have. It is vital if you want to survive and thrive as a business owner.

This blog is about signs from the road, systemising for success, and why networking feels less like work when you treat it as making new friends.

Just published the next part in my Invincible Micro Business series → Digital Transformation is Business Transformation.

Here’s the truth: digital isn’t a side project, it’s a mindset. When you change the way you think about your business, you unlock growth, resilience, and freedom.

In this piece, I break down why:

→ transformation means redesigning your processes, not just buying platforms
→ customer expectations demand smarter comms and delivery
→ the right-sized tools matter more than enterprise tech
→ a digital mindset is your compass for survival and growth

I also introduce Oakvale Community Theatre CIC — a real-world style case study we’ll follow as they move from paper notebooks and posters to smarter, connected systems. Their story will grow alongside the series.

"Thinking about design is hard, but not thinking about it can be disastrous." – Ralph Caplan.

At design pitch, we believe design isn’t just about how things look. It’s about how they work for the people you want to reach.

Too often, businesses focus on appearance alone and miss the bigger truth: design is a decision-making process. When you centre your customer in those decisions, how they feel, what they need, what makes them act, your brand not only looks right, it chimes.

Good design isn’t decoration. It’s intelligence in action.

Wearing 7 hats? You’re not alone.

Running a micro business means you’re the boss, the marketer, the bookkeeper, the customer service team — and now, the digital strategist too?

I’ve seen too many brilliant local businesses struggle to make confident decisions around technology. It’s overwhelming, expensive, and the wrong choice can cost you more than just money — it can stall growth, hurt your brand, and drain your time.

That’s why I’ve created this series for people just like you:

Just launched a new website for Lloyd at Abeo Design & Build — and honestly, it’s a proper fresh start for him.

He’s brilliant at what he does we see, whether it’s kitchens, bathrooms or full-on extention or interiors — and now he's got a brand that actually reflects it. Like a bit of a phoenix moment really 🔥

If you're thinking of updating your kitchen/bathroom space, give him a look: abeodesignandbuild.co.uk

We built it using our Micro Bundle — it’s our way of giving micro businesses a decent launchpad without the usual agency fuss or price tag. designpitch.co.uk/marketing

Big up to Lloyd. Wishing him every bit of success — and this is just the beginning
