Gemma Addison

Gemma’s career has always been in people-facing roles, building strong relationships within the business community and genuinely connecting with those around her. She thrives on meeting new people, so sitting down to chat with local businesses and professionals comes naturally.

Alongside her co-host, Gemma brings a relaxed, friendly vibe to every conversation. Full of laughs and honest moments. It’s all about uncovering the real stories behind the business, and the person behind the brand, in a way that feels warm, informal, and completely authentic.

Nick Hampton

Having spent over 30 years working, but over half of this time running businesses, Nick knows a thing or two about business.

From a career in Accountancy, but experience in a wide range of industries, from Poker to Vehicles, from Bars to Nursery Products, from Software to Serviced Offices, Nick has seen and experienced a lot.

After a few radio appearances, Nick has turned his attention to The Fun Side of Business podcast, where he and his co-host share some laughs, some moments of warmth, sadness but above all, real life, along with their guests as they enjoy chatting to the people behind the business, the person behind the brand, and discover what makes them tick.
