Global Entrepreneurship Week- Day 2

It is day 2 of Global Entrepreneurship Week! Throughout the week, we will bring you daily exclusive interviews, videos, profiles and events with Entrepreneurs.  

Today we have a video with entrepreneur Gerry White, founder of Jawbox Gin, who has been in 'the bar game' for many years, and is incredibly passionate about Belfast, stories and of course gin! 

Jawbox is a small batch gin inspired by the magnificent industrial era of Northern Irish history, when ordinary men and women put Belfast on the map for hard graft and craft. Jawbox is named in honour of the ever-celebrated Belfast sink, which years ago was the heart of the kitchen where the craic was heard, and unforgettable stories were shared. Back in the day, not everyone had the luxury of their own kitchen or scullery so there could have been a big Belfast sink shared between 5 or 6 families. People used to gather around it to tell their tales, do their washing, share the gossip, celebrate and commiserate all around the sink.

To celebrate day 2 of Global Entrepreneurship week, check out Gerry’s video with the Entrepreneur Club on his journey to setting up his business.    

The Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Environment team are very excited to host its first SERC Enterprise Evening tonight. Invited guests will have the opportunity to gain an insight into Enterprise & Entrepreneurship at SERC while networking with other industry experts as well as our enterprising students.  

The evening will give guests a taster of what SERC offers students through Project Based Learning and our Entrepreneurs Club, showcasing the transversal skills and innovative ideas that have come from students finding solutions to real world challenges, and how we support them in bringing these ideas to life.   

There will then be a three-course meal served in the college restaurant, curated, and cooked by our very own SERC catering students and supported by college chefs. During the sit-down meal, guests will have further opportunity to network and SERC’s Principal, Ken Webb, will give an overview of the enterprising work being carried out at SERC.    

 All activities and interviews from Entrepreneurship week can be found on the  Virtual Entrepreneurs Club Teams Site.
