Seaside CEO - Secrets to Profitable Retail & HospitalityThursday 27th August 2026

Following two successful events, Seaside CEO is back on 27th August, 5 to 7pm, for local start-ups and business owners. This month’s event will offer ‘Secrets to Profitable Retail & Hospitality’ with a panel of entrepreneurs including, Stefano Cuomo, who runs successful food & wellness destination, Macknade Food Hall, Mike Turner, who has built Bird & Blend into a retail powerhouse with 28 tea shops operating across the UK, and digital founder, Sara Wright, who has worked for numerous retail & hospitality brands, boosting online sales and performance to complement in-store activity.

Event organiser and Ramsgate resident, Emma Jones, says: 

‘It’s great to have seen the local small business population come out in force for the first two Seaside CEO events. I’m excited to hear from such an entrepreneurial panel in August, with their tips and techniques on how to run a successful venture. It could not be better timed for Thanet based retail and hospitality operators who will hopefully be making the most of a profitable summer season.’ 

Tickets are £5 per person which includes drinks and networking. Events are hosted at Royal Temple Yacht Club. Book your place at www.seasideceo.co.uk
