Who is Tim Heatley? Social Impact, Stoke-on-Trent & The Story Behind Capital & Centric

I sat down with Tim Heatley, founder of Capital&Centric, for what I thought would be a short chat about their developments in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. 

Instead, it turned into a raw, honest, hour-long conversation about so much more than bricks and mortar.

We talked about:

\- What being a social impact developer really means

\- Tim’s life growing up, and what drives him

\- The current state of the media

\- The power of positivity in communities

\- Why Stoke-on-Trent has so much untapped potential

\- The Goods Yard, Spode site, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the future of these places

\- What C&C will bring to the area and the people

This wasn’t a polished interview or a push for clicks – just two people having a real conversation about Stoke’s past, present, and future.
