Working together to achieve more

Where it all began

Since 2011, Mandy Weston and Gareth I. Jones have been supporting entrepreneurs by cultivating communities where entrepreneurship can thrive.

Over the past decade, they have supported thousands of freelancers, SMEs, and aspiring entrepreneurs in starting-up, building teams, and growing their businesses.

TownSq was founded in 2017 to take their innovative, community-focused approach around the UK - to create a TownSq in every town square.

The people who make it happen

What we believe in

Our beliefs

We believe strongly that communities across the UK are filled with talented, driven, and creative people. By creating inclusive spaces for these communities to meet, we have seen for ourselves the benefits - for our local economies, society, and environment.

Our idea

Our big idea is to create a TownSq in every town square. Giving communities a place to meet and talk about ideas, big and small; to meet like-minded people and those who challenge our view on the world, and ultimately creating places fully of prosperity and hope.

Our mission

Our mission is “entrepreneurship for good”. We want to see a world where people, places, and communities thrive. We continuously work to create new ways of doing this, by helping people to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and connecting with their communities for positive impact.

Our values

Our team is built on values of trust, openness, and a positive outlook. We enter every conversation with an open heart and mind, and leave our cynicism and doubt behind. We know that we have a responsibility to our members and the planet, and make every decision with both in mind.
