In this episode we are in the Lake District town of Kendal to visit the offices of TryBooking and to talk with it's founder and CEO in the UK, Joan Lind.

Joan discusses her journey from Scotland to the Lake District via Australia and working for a large and very well know global marketing agency.

You'll hear why Joan thought there was a place in the market for TryBooking and about why having a much bigger competitor in the shape of the global ticketing company, Eventbrite, encouraged Joan to go ahead rather than put her off.

You'll also hear about the value of having apprentices and University placement students in the business.

You can contact TryBooking here: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/
and set up a free account to give it a try.
