CEOs from Purple and Distology to discuss at FUEL Manchester conference in 2025

In the heart of Manchester, on October 9th, the city's innovative landscape will come alive with the FUEL Manchester 2025 event. This exciting occasion, designed to foster business growth for startups and scaleups, is set to take place at No.1 Circle Square, Oxford Road.

The event is supported by GM Business Growth Hub, Bruntwood SciTech, and S&W, three organisations that share a common goal of nurturing and supporting businesses at every stage of their journey.

Bruntwood SciTech, the UK's leading developer of city-wide innovation ecosystems, will be a significant presence at FUEL Manchester 2025. Their network connects the UK's most ambitious cities, regions, and innovation communities, providing a platform for growth and collaboration.

The day will begin with a breakfast panel discussion, followed by exclusive masterclasses. These sessions are expected to fill up rapidly, as there are only 25 spaces available. Companies interested in joining this cohort can contact editor Jonathan Symcox for more information.

At the helm of one such innovative company is Hayley Roberts, CEO of Distology, a cloud-based cybersecurity technology firm. Founded in 2014, Distology has been led by Roberts since 2015. In 2021, the company received investment from NorthEdge to support its growth plans.

S&W, another supporter of FUEL Manchester 2025, specialises in navigating complexities and unlocking opportunities across every stage of business. They provide comprehensive services across accountancy, tax, and advisory services, supporting fast-growing businesses and founders.

Gavin Wheeldon, founder and CEO of Purple, will also be a notable figure at the event. Wheeldon has a background in launching Applied Language Solutions (ALS) in 2003, demonstrating a track record of success in the business world.

The event will be chaired by award-winning executive editor Chris Maguire, ensuring a dynamic and engaging discussion throughout the day.
