One Event, Three Reasons to Show Up in Scarborough

Not every networking event gives you something to talk about on the drive home. Most involve a lukewarm coffee, a stack of business cards you'll never follow up on, and a vague sense that you could have spent those two hours more productively. This one is different, and we want to tell you exactly why.

We've been working with Tina Treacy, the founder behind Thinksafe Forensics, and honestly, we're passionate about what she's building. When an idea manages to combine STEM education, hands-on team building, and genuine fun all at once, you sit up and pay attention. We did, and we think you will too.

Meet Thinksafe Forensics

Tina Treacy is the inspiration and driving force behind Thinksafe Forensics, a genuinely exciting start-up that brings forensic science to life in an interactive, educational way. Tina works with young people and with corporate teams, using forensic-style activities to build problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and real collaboration.

It sits right at the heart of STEM education, and it does so in a way that feels nothing like a classroom. It feels like an experience.

We care about businesses like this. Part of what we do is nurture the ecosystem of small business owners on the Yorkshire coast, and Thinksafe Forensics is exactly the kind of start-up that deserves a platform, a room full of curious people, and a proper chance to grow.

Why We're Hosting This Event

We've always believed that the best business support doesn't happen in a boardroom. It happens in conversations, in shared experiences, and in the moments where you meet someone who completely changes how you think about a problem.

That's why we bring people together, not just to hand out advice, but to create the conditions where organic peer support and collaboration can actually happen. When business owners connect in a relaxed, engaging environment, something useful almost always comes from it.

Our event is being held at Grind & Tonic, a brilliant venue that fits the spirit of what we're going for perfectly. It's informal, welcoming, and exactly the kind of place where real conversations happen.

So yes, it's a networking event. But it's also a chance to experience something genuinely memorable, and to support a local founder who is doing something worth supporting.

Three Good Reasons to Book Your Spot

We mentioned three reasons, so let's be clear about what they are.

First, you'll have fun. Tina's forensic activities aren't passive. You'll be involved, thinking, and working alongside other people in the room. That shared experience is a far more natural icebreaker than any structured introduction round has ever been.

Second, you'll be supporting a start-up. Thinksafe Forensics is early in its journey, and events like this one matter enormously to founders at this stage. Showing up, engaging, and spreading the word makes a real difference. If you've ever been at that point yourself, you'll know exactly what we mean.

Third, you'll walk away with better connections. The people who come to our events are entrepreneurs, business owners, and people who take what they do seriously. The conversations that come out of a room like that tend to be the useful kind.

What Does It Cost?

Here's the part that makes this a straightforward decision. Thinksafe Forensics normally charges £49 per person for this kind of experience. For this event, it's just £15 per person, which covers costs and makes it accessible to everyone.

For the price of a decent lunch, you get a proper activity, a room full of like-minded people, and an experience you'll actually remember. We'd struggle to think of a better way to spend an afternoon on the Yorkshire coast.

Our Approach to Building Business Community

Pictured alongside Tina is Jenn Crowther, CEO of Yorkshire in Business, and the two of them together represent something we believe in deeply: the power of collaboration between established support networks and emerging founders.

We've spent years helping both start-ups and established businesses across the UK with practical guidance, market research, business planning, and the kind of straight-talking support that actually moves things forward. Our team brings over 100 years of combined experience to that work, and none of it is theoretical for the sake of it.

But advisory support is only one piece of what makes a business community thrive. The other piece is exactly this: getting people in the same room, creating shared experiences, and letting the connections form naturally. That's what brings the peer support, the referrals, the collaborations, and the kind of encouragement that keeps you going on the harder days.

Events like this one are a direct expression of who we are and what we're trying to build on the coast.
