Most people fuck up at some point...and most people live to tell the tale.

Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Events across the globe get 3 or 4 people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup/mistake. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, stories like these will all be told.

Welcome to our second event for Fuckup Nights Exeter, which will be held at Bootlegger, Fore Street, Exeter on 12th September 2024.

Join us for a welcome drink and canapes and the sharing of some incredible Fuckups

At this event we will have three fabulous speakers who are going to share their mistakes. 

Let's change the narrative, let's #ShareTheFailure and learn from it.

Our Speakers:

1) Martin Barnes had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong and pitch to Keanu Reeves but his ego got in the way and he told his boss he wasn't going to go.  Did this decision change the course of Martin's career - and was it for the best, or not?

2) Juanita Dellaway tells her harrowing journey of being born into a dysfunctional family with an unloving mother and a physically aggressive father ……

3) John Murcott shares with us how boredom cost him his business, and how he lost it all to gain it all.

Promoter

This event is organised by John Harvey, Owner of The Samphire Club.  The majority of John's 30-year career had been spent in the corporate world, primarily logistics, but it was always his interest in people that came first: “I recognised, very early on, that no matter what business you're in, success is built on the relationships you develop with the people you meet.”
