A former contestant of Dragons’ Den, an investment expert who has helped raise £1.5bn for North West firms and an entrepreneur whose retirement lasted just four hours were among the speakers at a unique tech business event in Warrington.

The event called ‘On a Stick…’ – took place in the town’s Parr Hall under the stunning backdrop of artist Luke Jerram’s ‘Museum of the Moon’ installation.

A 100 plus audience made up of high growth companies, entrepreneurs, marketing directors, investors and technologists were gripped by real-life stories from seven panellists who shared how and when they’d been promised the moon on a stick.

Organised by Carpe Diem the Opus Open House event was part of their Look Up Warrington campaign, the event made the most of the perfect scale model of the moon, part of Warrington’s Contemporary Arts Festival, introducing AR/VR experiences of Life on Mars with demos from 4WardFutures.
