Business support workshop 1, with lunch and networking
Running a small business can be tough - this unique workshop, sponsored by our long-time supporters, Crowe, will help you plan for success (and you'll have a wonderful lunch and networking too).
We are running this session with our long-standing sponsors Crowe, and bringing you this unique opportunity to benefit from their considerable accountancy skills at no charge, and get a fabulous lunch and networking opportunities with other business leaders from under-represented groups (women, LGBTQ+, ethnic minority, disabled, etc) too!

To attend this event you:
