21. Brothers In Business, From Burnley, Building The Next Social Chain?: Morgan and Niall Ratcliffe

In this episode of Greater Manchester’s Greatest Minds, we’re joined by the Ratcliffe brothers—two Northern lads who turned a football scholarship and a borrowed laptop into a fast-growing marketing agency with clients across the UK.

Morgan and Niall share how growing up in Burnley with zero exposure to entrepreneurship shaped their mindset, how they navigated food banks and remote jobs in the U.S., and why success came not from privilege but pure graft.

They open up about what it’s really like building a business as brothers—from sharing a single-bedroom flat to running a 20-person team—and why moving to Manchester became a defining moment for their brand.
