Consulting, cycles, cycles, cycles, and sensory nooks. And awards.

Those are the four topics we talk through on today's 'The Business Show' on Steel FM radio at 10am.

Kicking off the show is Dan Wilkinson - Founder, alongside his business partner Neil Munnoch, of Nordstar Consulting. This is a great story of bringing a combined 50 years of experience into a brand new venture and hitting the ground running. How to productionise and systemise service-based businesses are the forte for Nordstar.

Second up today is Janine Walker CEO of The Cycle Hub - a not-for-profit cycle business right in the centre of Grimsby. The Cycle Shop is a great story of how a cycle enthusiast has made it into a business and a living. It is the cycling centre of expertise within North East Lincs - all employees and employers should tune in because they do brilliant work for companies.

Closing the show is Kevin Wheatley - MD of Ambispace Ltd. Kevin shares with us how close he is to having sensory nooks 'On The High Street' - his vision for helping people with neuro diverse conditions to be able to go shopping just like everyone else, something that we just take for granted. A really exciting interview.

And Kevin also closes off the show telling everyone to enter the North Lincs Business Awards - closing date is Wednesday.
Now on air on Steel FM and, as always, if you wish to be a guest on Steel FM just like Dan, Janine and Kevin, and get your message out to over 62,000 listeners each week then please contact Nicola at businessshow@steelfm.org or send us a message and we’ll make it happen.
