Taking The Leap: The Right Time To Expand Your Business

Hive Collective CIC x Yonder are pleased to announce our Spring Hive Event for 2026

The theme is, When is the Right Time to Expand Your Business...

...for most businesses there comes a time when they reach a pressure point. You’ve made the most of where you’re at and to grow any further you’d have to take a leap.

The hard part is knowing when the time is right and how to expand sustainably and successfully. That’s what we’ll be talking about with successful local business owners who’ve already made that leap, some more than once.

They’ll talk about what went into the decision and what followed afterwards - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We’ve got 2 seasoned Walthamstow Businesses lined up for the panel this quarter, and you’ll have the chance to ask questions directly, hear about their experiences and get advice that might help your own business too.

We are delighted to tell you our panel includes:

Caroline Johnston, Owner of The Every Space gift shop on Hoe St and their neighbour Alex Bettler, Founder of Today Bread
