So, this week I’m doing a really exciting event with the British Library’s Business & IP Centre, as part of Start-up Day 2024, and they’ve organised a jam-packed schedule of engaging talks and discussions designed to support small business owners and entrepreneurs or those with a brilliant idea, thinking about starting so if that’s you – listen up!
As part of their ‘Inspiring Entrepreneurs’ event, I’m going to be doing a fireside chat with TV presenter, lawyer and business coach, Denise Nurse, where I’ll be discussing everything that I’ve learnt in my career and my top tips of running a successful business – nothing is off the table! And, what makes this event so great is that you can attend it in person and ask me your own burning questions, but then it will be live streamed for absolutely FREE so you can also watch from the comfort of your own home.
I’m a huge fan of everything that the British Library and the Business & IP Centre is doing to support the talent of up and coming entrepreneurs, especially when the UK has so much potential, but it’s their phenomenal stats on helping women-led and previously unemployed entrepreneurs that I feel so incredibly proud and passionate about.
For instance – over 60% of their users are women and over 72% of the new 18,000+ businesses that they helped to create were owned by women. And, over three years, 25% of the new businesses established were owned by people who had previously been unemployed.
I’m thrilled to be supporting this amazing event so I hope you can take some time out of your evening to join me in what I know will be a really worthwhile and fulfilling event, I know I’m incredibly excited about it! If you’d like to come in person, you can purchase tickets here and the link for livestreaming is available there too. Hope to see some of you there!
