About this event
Join us to find out everything you need to know about our free Enterprising Women 2.0 programme, in partnership with NatWest, and whether its right for you.
The event will include a panel discussion from an inspirational group of business women: Sarah Bolt, Founder and CEO of Forth, Katie Donovan-Adekanmbi, Inclusion and Cohesion Specialist at BCohCo, and Mel Rodrigues, Founder and Creative Director of Gritty Talent. The discussion will be chaired by Monika Radclyffe, Centre Director at SETsquared Bristol.
