The Climb Tour is officially underway - and the response so far has made one thing clear: there’s a real appetite across the UK for meaningful, growth‑focused conversations.
With Newcastle, Huddersfield and Manchester already behind us, the early stops on the tour have set the tone. Packed rooms, high energy, and a strong mix of founders, investors and ecosystem leaders have shown exactly why taking Climb on the road matters.
These haven’t been passive events. They’ve been rooms full of people leaning in - sharing what’s working, challenging ideas, and making connections that continue well beyond the final session. That early momentum is now carrying forward into the next phase of the tour.
Leeds Today - And Sold Out
Today, the Climb Tour arrives in Leeds (10 March) - and demand for this leg has been exceptional. Leeds is now fully sold out, following significant interest from across the region.
To meet that demand, we’ve added an additional highlight to the agenda: a fireside chat with England rugby international Rory Underwood, joining an already strong line‑up of speakers and contributors.
Leeds marks an important moment for the tour - not just because it’s sold out, but because it reflects what we’re seeing nationally: when Climb comes to town, people show up.
Sheffield Tomorrow - And Moving Fast
There’s no pause between cities.
Tomorrow, the tour heads straight to Sheffield (11 March), bringing together founders, investors, academics and ecosystem leaders for an afternoon built around practical insight and open conversation.
With strong interest following the success of previous stops, Sheffield is shaping up to be another high‑energy moment on a tour that’s moving quickly.
What’s Coming Next
The Climb Tour continues throughout March and April, with a packed schedule of limited‑capacity events designed to prioritise quality conversations over scale.
Upcoming Tour locations include:
- Leeds - 10 March (Sold out)
- Sheffield - 11 March
- Middlesbrough - 17 March
- Birmingham - 18 March
- Warwick - 19 March
- Bristol - 24 March
- Cardiff - 25 March
- Milton Keynes - 31 March
- Nottingham - 21 April
- Edinburgh - 22 April

Each stop brings the same Climb Tour format - high‑impact discussions, founder‑led insight, and the space for real connections to form - shaped by the local ecosystem in each city.
Why the Tour Is Resonating
What’s made the Climb Tour work so far is simple:
it’s grounded, it’s honest, and it’s built for people who are actually scaling businesses.
Across Newcastle, Huddersfield and Manchester, we’ve seen:
- Strong demand and fast‑moving ticket sales
- Engaged audiences ready to contribute, not just listen
- Conversations that go beyond the stage and into action
That combination is exactly why tickets across upcoming cities are moving quickly.
Don’t Leave It Too Late
With Leeds already sold out and interest running high for the next stops, the message is clear: capacity is limited, and when tickets are gone, they’re gone.
The Climb Tour is only just getting started - but it’s already proving that growth‑focused communities across the UK are ready to connect.
