Guest Speakers
This event is hosted by our West of England XFE Ambassador, Chris Flannagan.
Jamie Cording, UAV Strategist from Coptrz – Commercial Drone Experts will be delivering the Keynote discussion at the event. He will be discussing the work he does helping thousands of drone pilots get their drone businesses off the ground and outlining what you need to get your business started.
Alistair Downham, FSB Regional Sales Manager will be attending to discuss FSB benefits and their partnership with XFE.
It is important to mention our partnership with the Federation of Small Businesses, a not for profit organisation with values very much aligned to XFE and the wider military community. There is now a unique membership offering, for members of the military community, which equates to a 25% discount on FSB membership. Please do feel free to ask any questions during this event.

Important Notice: due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, we have moved all of our Networking events and Training Workshops online, to be delivered in a virtual space. These will have the same high level of interactivity and engagement as an in-person event, and can all be done from the comfort of your home. These events do have very limited places, so please register your interest as soon as possible.

''X-Forces Enterprise nurtures entrepreneurial ambition in the UK Armed Forces community by supporting start-up and scale-up businesses. We provide free training to the community (Service leavers, military spouses and partners, reservists, cadets and children of forces) through our charity and corporate partners.''
We are the industry leader for enterprise training in the military community with a success rate around 90% of micro-financing repayment*. We have supported in various ways over 1,900 business owners since 2013. Many hundreds more have experienced our training, business advice, networking, mentoring or events.
If an individual makes an informed decision not to start-up a business, we still consider this a success story as the entrepreneurial skills learned are assets in an employed role.
*Micro-financing repayment does not necessarily directly correlate to business success. Business success, very much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder or the business owner.''
