In this episode of “Assa Marra,” we’re chuffed to welcome Oliver Hodgson, a reet inspiring young entrepreneur from Whitehaven, Cumbria. At just 16, Oliver left school and, undeterred by traditional paths, founded Platinum Live, a creative communications agency that’s gone from strength to strength. Now in his early 20s, he’s garnered national recognition, including being named the North West’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
Oliver’s approach is as unique as a Herdwick on a fell, refusing to let a “one size fits all” mentality dictate his work. His success story offers a compelling glimpse into the Gen Z mindset, showcasing how fire, grit, graft, and innovation can lead to remarkable achievements, even when the traditional route doesn’t fit.
Tune in for a crackin’ conversation that sheds light on the future of business through the eyes of a true Cumbrian trailblazer.
