Ian Ashbee captained Hull City on a legendary run: three consecutive promotions to the Premier League.

But in this episode of North of Ordinary, we're looking past the trophies to what came after.

Ian opens up about the reality of retiring from professional football, and the loss of routine, identity, and purpose that follows. He talks honestly about the years it took to find his feet, the businesses he's built since, and why giving back to Hull’s young people is the driving force of his second chapter.

From the pressures of captaincy to learning spreadsheets, this is a conversation about reinvention, resilience, and what success looks like when the roar of the crowd has faded.

Stop chasing receipts and start scaling. Learn how to automate your finance function to survive and thrive in 2026.

Is your business profitable on paper but "cash-poor" in the bank?

Most SME owners spend up to 20% of their week on manual admin chasing late payments, looking at spreadsheets, and hunting for lost receipts.

This isn't a boring accounting lecture. It’s a survival guide for the modern entrepreneur who wants real-time data to make better decisions, in partnership with Quickline Communications.

What we will cover:
- The Digital Fortress: How to build a "Core Tech Stack" that does the heavy lifting for you.
- The 14-Day Accelerator: Simple digital "Pay Now" hacks to get your invoices settled two weeks faster.
- Killing the Shoebox: How to automate expense tracking so you never lose a tax deduction again.
- Stress-Testing Your Future: Using dynamic forecasting to see "around the corner" and prepare for economic shifts.

If you would like us to take a look at your own software or have a look for potential software to meet your needs then simply bring along your laptop!

What is it really like to run a hospitality business in the UK today?

In this episode of North of Ordinary, Anna Lamb, founder of Nibble, Next Door and The Makery, shares an honest, unfiltered look at the realities of the industry, from launching a café with limited resources to building a recognised brand.

She breaks down the key challenges facing the sector, including rising costs, staffing pressures and the lasting impact of COVID, and why being busy doesn’t always mean being profitable.

This episode goes beyond the surface to explore leadership in hospitality, team culture, customer experience and what it takes to build loyalty in a competitive food and drink market.

Retail isn’t slowing down, it’s changing.

This session is built for people who actually need sales and customer growth to deliver.

Bob Spence brings a straight-talking, practical take on turning conversations into revenue. Josh Pearson from Peaco Marketing breaks down how Google Business Profiles can drive real footfall, not just views.

No fluff. Just ideas you can use straight away, plus a room full of local businesses facing the same challenges.

If you run a shop, manage a retail space, or are responsible for bringing customers through the door, this one’s for you.
