From Solopreneur to CEO: How to Scale your Business with Systems and Soul

Exclusive to Design Central North West 2025 is Talk Space – the place where ideas, creativity, and inspiration collide at Design Central North West 2025! Across two action-packed days, you’ll hear from trailblazing designers, business leaders, and creative thinkers who are shaping the future of interiors. Expect bold discussions, practical insights, and plenty of fresh ideas to take straight back to your projects.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired at Talk Space!

1.30pm TBC

​If you're brilliant at creating beautiful spaces but drowning in admin, client management, and working all hours, it's time to scale!

Join interior design business mentor Kate Hatherell as she reveals how interior designers can scale beyond themselves without losing their creativity, or that personal touch.

You'll discover:

• Why you're stuck doing everything yourself (and how to break free)
• Simple systems that free up time for actual design work
• How to delegate without losing quality
• The secret to growing whilst keeping your creative soul intact

Having started as a freelance interior designer, Kate went on to grow her own training and mentoring business to 16 team members, and she now helps hundreds of interior designers to build sustainable, scalable businesses - she's seen every challenge you're facing and knows exactly how to solve them..
