WORK HISTORY
Founder @Ministry Of Work
Manchester, GB
After selling my startup, I had an idea to create a workspace for the suburbs. An idea that, within 12 months of launching, pivoted into the concept of an exclusive ‘work club’ for ambitious founders and business leaders around Greater Manchester. I’d originally jumped in with both feet and bought an old chapel on a bit of a whim. We renovated the 1891 chapel into a breathtaking premium workspace and high-end creative space, including a fully kitted out and sound proofed podcast studio. Now, we’re an exclusive members only work club for entrepreneurs, founders and business leaders.

ABOUT EDDIE WHITTINGHAM
In 4 years, I went from working 9-5, to bootstrapping my startup as a sole founder and selling it to a NASDAQ-listed company in a multi-million pound exit.Since then, I\'ve bought an 1891 chapel and converted it into a premium work club in Greater Manchester, co-founded GrowGrows.com (a premium children\'s\' sleepwear brand) and founded GoFounder.com (an accountability service for high-potential founders which I’ve since exited in a small but meaningful way!). My background? I’m just a daft lad from Scunthorpe former copper (which I enjoyed / hated equally) qualified lawyer (which I just hated) long-suffering Scunthorpe United fan (which I love to hate)I had no right or experience to build a cyber-security business and sell it… I just took that first small step, worked hard, got lucky and here I am.Where will your next step take you?
