What's Your Why? with Steve Orr

Why we attended

At Invisible Building, we’re deliberately building something that lasts. Purpose isn’t a buzzword for us — it’s the foundation for how we choose clients, shape projects, and grow without chaos. Attending a lunchtime session with Steve Orr OBE is a chance to pause, reflect, and pressure-test our thinking against real experience about what separates sustainable businesses from those that struggle.

Many of the brands we work with sit at the intersection of food, drink, culture, and commerce. They often begin with passion and momentum, but long-term success depends on clarity of purpose, smart decision-making, and knowing when to take risks — and when not to. Understanding these dynamics more deeply helps us become better partners, not just better builders.

Rooted in Belfast but working globally, Invisible Building Ltd is focused on steady, values-led growth. Events like this reinforce the mindset we believe in: thoughtful progress, honest reflection, and building businesses — and partnerships — that can evolve, adapt, and endure.

About This Event

A lunchtime event with Steve Orr OBE exploring why purpose matters in business, and sharing practical insights.

For anyone starting or growing a food and drink business in Belfast who wants to build something that lasts. This is a chance to pause, and explore what really sits at the heart of your business – and how that purpose can shape smarter decisions and steadier growth.​

Steve will unpack the importance of knowing your 'why', share key ingredients for startup success, and talk honestly about what tends to separate the businesses that thrive from those that struggle – from mindset and focus to how you test ideas, manage risk and build the right support around you.

Grounded in real experience and innovation know‑how, this session will cover turning ideas into reality, growing beyond the startup phase and spotting the common signs of success and failure, so you leave with practical insight as well as fresh motivation.
