We don’t need to brag…😅

Our attendees have done it for us!

We delivered our FIRST Business Kickstart workshop to pre-trading, and early stage businesses last month, and what a great success it was!

A FULLY-FUNDED day workshop to teach you all the fundamentals of running and growing a business (even lunch AND coffee included…😉).

So pleased to receive these shining testimonials from just some of our attendees (and we didn’t have to bribe them, we promise!)

Swipe to smile with us 😀.

We are running this workshop again THIS MONTH in Crawley. We only have two spaces left! Comment ‘🔗’ below for your spot.
