From Reggae Reggae Sauce to Scaleup North East: Dragon’s Den star Levi Roots reveals his secrets of success
Scaleup North East is a multi-million pound programme focused on helping North East businesses grow to their maximum potential. 
We are delighted to welcome Dragons Den and Reggae Reggae Sauce star Levi Roots and other key members of the scaleup community to the North East to help us launch the programme. 
Levi will tell his personal story and share his experiences as an entrepreneur, as well as reveal top tips on how to pitch for investment, learn from mistakes and go for growth. 
Scaleup North East works with businesses that can demonstrate both the hunger and potential to achieve high levels of growth. Whilst we can’t achieve this for you, we will do everything in our power to help.
The support we give is tailored the needs of your business; when it comes to scaling one size doesn’t fit all. Our commitment to you is to get behind your business, investing time, energy and resources to help you become the best you can be.
