Andrew Ferdinando decided to have a crack at running his own business after 6 years in corporate life. Not content with just one business, he currently has 2 ventures on the go. The first, The Hubworking Centre, is a meeting venue by Liverpool Street station offering meeting rooms and hot desks to small businesses and mobile workers. The second is 12questions.com, a social networking website for young professionals living in London.

I am Managing Director of The Conch, a community-powered guide for adventurous people. I am passionate about adventure in all its forms. Founded in 2006 with support from the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA), The Conch aims to bring together everyone involved in the adventure travel journey; locals and travellers, businesses and advertisers, to share stories and advice in their own words and their own voices. Launching in April 2008, Club Conch provides affordable adventure activities for entrepreneurs and busy professionals across England’s North West. We arrange single day events wherever possible, making them easy to fit into the busiest schedule. For more information visit http://blog.theconch.com

I am an entrepreneur and currently running a green technology business called www.golowtransport.com. I am also the CEO of European Young Professionals (www.eyplondon.org) which is a fantastic organisation here in London. I got involved in my first business when I was 19 and have been involved in a range of businesses and investment activities since then. For about ten years, I was in the Australian Army as well and saw service in East Timor and Iraq.
