Shell Store Start Up Club

This is a 6 week course and is great for anyone who is thinking about or recently set up a business, or has business ideas to explore.

This is a 6 week course running every Wednesday for 6 weeks, beginning on the 9th September 2026 and ending on the 14th October 2026. We’ve experienced a record number of people who want to finally realise their dream of going self employed and becoming their own boss. The desire to be in control of your own job security has never been higher but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t still a nerve-racking idea.

Startup Club is great for anyone who:

Is thinking about starting a business in future
Has recently set up a business
Has a business idea they want to explore
Our Startup Club programme is designed to equip you with the skills and information that you need to turn your business idea into reality.

From marketing and HR to business models, legals and accounting, it’s the practical help and support to get your idea off the ground.

Each session covers a key topic: a masterclass from a local specialist, followed by the opportunity to ask questions about your specific idea. Over the course of the programme, you will also get to know your fellow Startup Clubbers.

Each week, you will share your achievements, your challenges, and create bonds that will support you through the highs and lows of running your own business.

Startup Club is a relaxed, informal series of interactive workshops with limited places on a first come, first served basis.
