Good Afternoon Everyone,

Hello and welcome my name is Connor Willoughby, and I’m really glad you’ve found your way here. This is my personal blog a space where I share my thoughts, experiences, and reflections on business, creativity, and the world we’re all trying to navigate. I’m a website designer, photographer, and start-up founder, and the founder of Ferricks® Group, a self-funded start-up holding company. Our first venture, Ferricks® Labs, focuses on supporting and backing private companies through FCA-regulated platforms, helping founders bring their ideas to life and scale sustainably.

Alongside that, I personally invest in both private companies and public markets especially within the technology, health and fitness, and food sectors, as well as the S&P 500 Index. Investing, for me, isn’t just about finance. It’s about curiosity watching industries evolve, people innovate, and entire ideas turn into movements. Outside of business, I find calm in simplicity. I love walking along the beach, letting my mind clear and my creativity reset. Photography often joins me on those walks capturing fleeting moments that remind me why balance matters. Life moves fast when you’re building things; the beach slows it down just enough to think.

This blog is where those worlds meet ambition and appreciation, progress and pause. I’ll be sharing insights on entrepreneurship, investing, design, and the journey of building something meaningful, both in business and in life. It’s not about perfection it’s about persistence, purpose, and learning as you go. So, whether you’re a fellow creator, investor, or just someone who enjoys a good story about chasing a dream welcome. I hope this space gives you something real to take away.
