Ant Hulme is the owner of Riff Factory and co-owner of Riff Factory's new Music Venue in

Stoke-on-Trent, a creative space he began building in 2013.

What started as two rehearsal rooms has grown into a hub that now includes professional

studios, rehearsal spaces, and a grassroots live-music venue supporting artists at every

stage.

Ant works closely with local bands and promoters, focusing on creating accessible

environments for musicians to develop.

His hands-on approach, from helping bands achieve a perfect rehearsal to physically

building a brand new music venue, reflects a long-term commitment to strengthening

Stoke’s music scene.

Through collaboration and genuine support for local talent, Ant continues to help provide

platforms and opportunities for artists across the region.
