Santander inspire SME owners with ‘Breakthrough Moments’ Festivals

Santander is inspiring SME owners through a ‘Breakthrough Box’ concept currently touring the UK. The contemporary pop-up environment which is currently residing in Bristol, brings real business success stories to life to inspire, educate and ultimately illustrate the potential of Santander’s business offer.

Devised by events and experiential agency Slice, the box offers a great opportunity for local SMEs to gain insight, share experience and develop new business contacts in a compelling and engaging environment.

Slice has imported one of the latest portable structures to create a standout experience. Alive with technology, the space was purposefully designed to be versatile, changing from a gallery experience to an intimate presentation space in a matter of minutes.Over the course of its tour the Box has visited Preston, Reading and Leeds, hosting a number of masterclasses and seminars aimed at businesses with the ambition to grow and succeed.

Tom Rutter, MD and production lead at Slice, said “We wanted to provoke a conversation in our audience by letting them physically explore some of these stories in an engaging environment. Combining cutting edge architectural design, with a gallery-style series of walkthrough moments, we were able to bring these stories to life.”

These festivals are part of Santander’s Breakthrough proposition, a support programme for ambitious fast-growth businesses. The key themes of the festival will all serve to showcase the pillars of the proposition – helping businesses with International Expansion, Connections, Managing Talent, and gaining Business Knowledge as well as Finance.
