Roger Candy and Graham Baty began working full-time on enterprise activities within Northumbria University in April 2004. They established The Hatchery in April 2004. The Hatchery was originally based in a portakabin on the University's City Campus West. These premises were not ideal due to a number of issues including lack of security and temperature control.
