Founders
Urban Splash was founded by Tom Bloxham, a graduate of the University of Manchester, and Tiffinian, whose initial business experience was selling pop posters in Affleck's Palace in Manchester. To expand his business Bloxham branched out as a landlord opening the Northern Quarter Arcade adjacent to Affleck's Palace. He then expanded into Liverpool, opening a shopping arcade called the Liverpool Palace and then into licensed premises with the founding of the Baa Bar in Liverpool with architect and Urban Splash co-founder, Jonathan Falkingham.

Seemed once more dear than life; ancestral trees,
Or gardens rich in memory glorified
Marriages, alliances, and families,
And every bride’s ambition satisfied.”
