“A simple conversation about a real problem became an idea with the potential to help a whole local community.”

Our story

Created by students. Inspired by local creatives.

Briidgely was created by a team of Year 12 students from Howell's School in Llandaff, Cardiff, through the Peter Jones Tycoon Enterprise Programme.

Their challenge began with a simple question: what genuine problem could they help solve? Through people they knew, including young Howell's alumni building creative businesses, they heard the same difficulty repeatedly. Talented photographers, designers, marketers and other emerging creatives had useful skills and plenty of ambition, but often struggled to find new customers and make the right business connections.

At the same time, their research identified local businesses that needed affordable, flexible creative support but did not always know where to find trusted talent nearby. The students saw an opportunity to bring those two groups together.

With research, testing, mentoring and a great deal of work, that early idea developed into Briidgely: a local platform designed to create introductions, experience and opportunities on both sides.

The team is launching Briidgely as part of the Tycoon trading period, but their ambition goes further. They hope to build something useful enough to continue, grow and support more young creatives and local businesses long after the programme ends.
