Shine - Expert Impact

Todd Hannula,

Shine

Met with Ryan Prince

Shine is a building in Leeds made for many things: events, meetings, and co-working for starters. It also offers office space and is home to a plant based catering business, with the food being available on-site and via electric vehicle(s) around the Leeds City Region.

Our social impact is integrated into our business model, allowing us to support women ex-offenders, local children, artists and entrepreneurs in their journeys. To read an example of how this works, click here.

Ryan was a breath of fresh air. We spent the hour having an intelligent conversation about the issues, which left me energised and a little bit smarter. Importantly, Ryan’s expertise was underpinned by an ethical approach to business. I highly recommend both Ryan and Expert Impact.
