Meet the Sponsors: Women in Business Lunch with Glynis Wright
TheBusinessDesk.com is delighted to announce that the the LLEP Growth Hub Business Gateway is sponsoring our forthcoming Women in Business Lunch with Glynis Wright or Glynis Wright & Co Family Solicitors.
Tickets are still available for the event in Leicester on 18 July – make sure you don’t miss out.
Helen Miller, Growth Hub manager at the Business Gateway, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Women in Business lunch on 17th July as supporting female entrepreneurs is one of our priorities. The number of small and medium-sized companies run by women is increasing. However, nationally, six per cent of working-age women are currently engaged in early stage entrepreneurial activity compared to more than ten per cent of men.

“There are more and more women with great entrepreneurial ideas who need support to help their businesses succeed. If women set up businesses at the same rate as men, the UK would have an additional one million entrepreneurs.”
“There is a confidence issue to overcome as fewer women believe that they have the skills to start a business compared with men.”
“The good news is that growth hubs are here to help. By putting the right supporting structures for female entrepreneurs in place, they can find the resources to help develop the skills they need to start or grow their own business. The growth hub for Leicester and Leicestershire is called Business Gateway. We offer expert advice, support programmes, finance opportunities and free workshops. Our service is free and impartial and available to businesses at all stages. Our friendly team are there to help so get in touch to discover the support available. ”
