My Life - Ken Price
We chat to Ken Price, CEO/Co-founder at Blake Mill Limited
How would you describe yourself?
Hard working, adventurous, social and sometimes stubborn.
Where is home? And work?
Home is Manchester (Castlefield) although I’m from Moncton, New Brunswick in Canada and spent much of my adult life in Toronto. Work is based in Manchester (Ancoats).
What did you want to be when you were younger?
I wanted to be a surgeon and then discovered I hated studying biology so I dropped it after 2 days and focused on engineering.
Name a few of your favourite places to be...
I enjoy weekend walks in the peaks, around the lakes and in Wales with my partner and our dog. I love a ski holiday in Whistler in Canada and anywhere in the Alps. For a beach holiday, it’s hard to beat the Maldives for diving.
What or who inspires you?
#1 - What inspires me?
A challenge (like building a business from scratch)
Helping others.
#2 - Who inspires me?
David Goggins
Steve Jobs
Malala
What was the last gift you gave someone?

Tell us a secret/fun fact.
I played drums in several rock bands in high school and university.
Who or what would you place in Room 101?
What is Room 101? I’ve just googled it. My answer then is, “people who ask you about something because they are too lazy to google it”.
Your mastermind subject?
80’s rock.
What’s been your biggest life lesson?
Thinking big is almost always more rewarding than thinking small.
