Jive Bunny was another memorable speaker at Norfolk Network. No, really.
Those of a certain age may remember Jive Bunny from the '80s and their three number one singles of mashed up rock and roll and big band music – but younger generations may be more familiar with U-Explore, and its founder, Andy Pickles.
Andy told his story of being surprised by sudden fame and pop success – a dream come true, but one that is hard to sustain. And rather than being desperate to remain in the limelight, he started his own record label, Tidy Trax – but there was more to come.
Having always worked with sampling and programming technology, his expertise lead him away from the comfort zone of music to education. U-Explore began in 2009, creating interactive platforms for students to guide career choices and provide information for teachers, parents and carers. Easy to navigate with engaging content, U-Explore is now licensed to a third of UK secondary schools and colleges, linking business with education.
As Andy mentions, googling his name may be confusing – but his career path was perfect to share with NN's members, because a productive business life can take some surprising turns. White bunnies included.
