Amazing Night 🙌😊

Christmas came early for us last night at Factory Floor 🎄

We got invited down to check out Factory Floor's Christmas Showcase, where they were showing businesses why they should be booking their Christmas party there this year (smart move, if you ask us).

Ended up spending most of the night on the darts, shuffleboard and pool tables, turns out none of us are as good as we thought we were, Leah won most of the games and hasn’t let it go since 😂🏆 Egos still recovering 😭

Good food, good drinks, good laugh with the team.

Massive thanks to the team at Factory Floor and Cotton Works for having us, we had such a great night!

If you're sorting your Christmas do this year, go check the place out. Well worth it🎅🏻❤️

WOW. Just wow, Wigan 👏

Friday Club at Cotton Works, and you turned out in numbers we genuinely weren't ready for. All there to hear what we do at GroundUp and TheDraft, and to hear Louie tell his story publicly for the first time.

That's not an easy thing to stand up and do. The response in that room made it worth every second.

Massive thank you to everyone who came out. And to our network, the ones who always show up and back us, you know exactly who you are 🫡

Big thanks to Cotton Works for having us down for this one.

One of our biggest turnouts so far this year 🙌

Thank you to everyone who came down for Friday Club last week - great to see so many new faces, and the regulars as always.

Huge thanks to Louie and the GroundUp and TheDraft team - you absolutely smashed it!

Building the Chatterbox set 🎙️

24 hours. That's all we gave ourselves 😅

Everything out, walls painted, logo up on the wall, set built, lights rigged, cameras in. All done in a day so we could start filming first thing the next morning.

This one's been a proper passion project. Built from scratch in our studio at The Old Courts and handled entirely in house at GroundUp, from the set concept and design through to printing the wall decals and the full lighting and camera setup.

Honestly, we're just grateful we get to do things like this. And I can't say enough about the team, they're ridiculously talented and none of this would happen without them.

First episode coming very soon 👀

We're all down at Cotton Works Friday Club this Friday and it'd be brilliant to see some of our network come out and support us.

Louie's telling the GroundUp story properly for the first time, so it should be a good one.
