Tech and digital guru sets sail on new venture, Goodship

Gavin Sherratt, a prominent figure on the Liverpool IT landscape and former co-founder of the Mashbo agency, will launch his new venture next week.

GoodShip is his new collaboration agency focused on building creative and tech teams and developing solutions to service growth ambitions for partner clients.

As well as offering development services, GoodShip provides collaborative consultancy, where it works within an organisation or project to support the creation of business-boosting strategies and ideas.

Providing expert knowledge and insights garnered during Gavin’s 27-years in the tech and digital sector, it will work with tech, business development, creative and development teams to identify and deliver effective solutions.

Gavin said the Goodship approach brings a broad network of business, creative, and tech talent to organisations and projects, supporting management teams and founders with key decision making, helping them to accurately scope projects, build solid foundations for their initiatives and ensure their success.

The new venture will launch officially on Thursday, September 19, with an event under the organisation’s community brand, KinShip, supported by Growth Platform. The Liverpool Slush’d pre-conference social at Ryde Cafe on Mann Street.

Gavin said:  “Earlier this year, Mashbo’s founders decided to explore our own missions after nearly 14 years working together, so launching GoodShip is an exciting, fresh challenge for me.

“Over the summer, we have worked to assemble an experienced network of creatives and developers as the foundation of GoodShip, but we will be looking to work with new talent as we grow.”

He added: “We’re going to build on previous experiences, which includes bringing back our Creative Kitchen network under the new name of KinShip.

“We’ve been working on some fantastic projects with our first clients, which we’re excited to share in the near future.

“We are also looking forward to bringing more clients aboard, particularly those that address business and social challenges, where creativity and tech has the power to enable positive change and growth.”
