A man overcame a challenging start in life to run two successful businesses. Nathan Nolan’s fortunes began to change when he went to the University of Liverpool to study economics.
After his studies, he set up a technology company called Vendi Tech and last year, the 30 year-old opened The Gamers Lodge on Kempston Street in Liverpool city centre. It offers people the chance to play card, tabletop and board games, both casually and competitively. The Fabric District venue sees thousands of people pass through its doors each month and has now been nominated for a major award.
Nathan has a similar venue to the Gamers Lodge in Preston and plans to open up more locations in the future. Speaking to the ECHO about how he became interested in combining business and gaming, he said: “I’m from Toxteth originally. I grew up on the poverty line; my mum was on benefits
“When I was growing up, I used games – Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, whatever it was – to escape. It was like my little escape from my life and I just became quite passionate about it.
“I started playing and playing quite competitively with these like table top games, card games, like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon and whatnot.”
“I ended up going to uni. I did economics and then a Master’s in economics. I went on into banking. I then started a business called Vendi Tech, which was my first venture into entrepreneurship. I did that with one of my best mates, and we built that up.”
