Marketing Dribble Podcast

In this episode of the Marketing Dribble Podcast, we’re joined by Mary Speakman, Director of Code Galaxy, a bespoke software development and apps company. Mary brings a wealth of experience as a business leader, speaker, and judge for the prestigious BiBAs awards. She was also part of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Alumni.

Throughout this conversation, Mary shares insights from her entrepreneurial journey, how the Goldman Sachs program shaped the growth of Code Galaxy, and her passion for championing local businesses and women in business, particularly in Lancashire. As a judge in the ‘Family Business’ category of the BiBAs, Mary also gives us a glimpse into what she looks for when evaluating businesses in this category.

We also discuss the importance of building personal and business profiles through events, the motivation behind her goal of being recognised as one of the ‘Top 100’ businesses in Lancashire, and exciting future projects on the horizon for Code Galaxy.
