Meet Shak \u2013 the chief Nudl, whose vision of putting the fun into funding set the whole Nudl ball rolling\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been working to support businesses with grants for 20 years now, and, I have to be honest, I\u2019m well aware it\u2019s not the most exciting of industries \u2013 that\u2019s why I\u2019m committed to putting the fun into funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mission is simple; to offer businesses easy, straightforward access to grants, saving them valuable time and helping them achieve their dreams \u2013 the financial ones at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started my career working for my parents\u2019 business portfolio, building up my experience before setting up my own venture in mid 2000. From there, I went on to work in growth and investment for a number of major organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and I\u2019ve also combined my 20-year career in business growth with my other true love \u2013 music. My first official job was as a DJ, and I\u2019ve been lucky enough to work with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Drake and Kanye West \u2013 I told you I was all about the fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I can\u2019t begin to tell you some of the weird and wonderful things I\u2019ve seen while DJing; watching a room full of drunken people from that vantage point is very illuminating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, if we\u2019re sharing here, I am still slightly gutted that I never made it in my first dream job \u2013 as a pro basketball player\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Away from work, I\u2019m a Teessider born and bred; while my work has taken me around the world, the North East will always be home to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music continues to be incredibly important to me, and in my downtime you will find me either listening to it, making it, playing instruments or DJing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also a massive petrol head and love my cars and motorcycles; I\u2019ve already ticked one item off my bucket list when I bought my Harley Davidson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pride myself of being straightforward and creative, and that\u2019s my approach to Nudl too; people still see funding and finance as dull and worthy, but it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. I always like to ask clients what their dream (business) shopping list is, before telling them how we\u2019re going to get items ticked off \u2013 just like my Harley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
