Starting your own business
From small acorns grow the mightiest oaks...
The real aim at the Town Hall is to grow businesses, not simply to let rooms. The most wonderful success we could have at the Town Hall would be to play a nurturing role in the next Sage or Parsons success story. There's no harm in aiming big. We've named each area of the centre after people like Armstrong, Parsons and Stephenson - great employers who created 100,000's of jobs between them. Here's why;
It has to start from somewhere. Lord Armstrong eventually went on to employ 65,000+ at his factories in Elswick, but at 36 he was a partner in local law firm and unsure that his current job should be his true vocation in life. Maybe as you are now.
Around that time Armstrong, a keen angler, was fishing in the Pennines when he saw a waterwheel supplying power to a marble quarry. It struck him that much of the available power was being wasted. When he returned to Newcastle, he designed a rotary engine powered by water, and had it built in the High Bridge works of his friend Henry Watson. Little interest was shown in the rotary engine, but a tweak to the design created a piston engine which was suitable for driving a hydraulic crane.
Armstrong's hydraulic crane revolutionised the offloading of ships around the UK and then around the world. Demand rocketed, and the profits from those crane sales gave a foundation from which he created huge factories and employed 10,000's, going on to become Tyneside's only billionaire to date (adjusted for inflation).
That little burst of curiosity in the river, and the fortitude to act on it upon his return, would be the turning point that changed his life alongside Tyneside's fortunes. Nothing much came of it; only Newcastle University, Jesmond Dene, Newcastle RVI, the Hancock Museum, 100,000's of houses, not to mention millions of mortgage payments, school uniforms and holidays for the workers(!).
He showed the willingness to explore, to try, to shoot and miss. We need more of that spirit back on Tyneside because these great testaments of prosperity in our city didn't just happen. They were built upon the shoulders of such great people.
Great things can come from starting your own business, and who knows where the journey will lead.
When's the right time to start? Right now.
