Remarkable Enterprising Women

Sophie Garrett – founder yours2share

Many thanks to Enterprising Women, who have just made me Woman of the Week.  Enterprising Women is a great resource for female business owners in the East of England and it is now spreading out across the country.  As well as a comprehensive directory, the events section is useful.  I’m [...]

WiREd!

As I’ve explained on various previous posts, I’ve been taking every opportunity to attend networking events in Norfolk for the last six months.  This is bearing fruit as I’ve noticed that many more new yours2share members come from Norfok than would be otherwise expected.

Driving with passion and care

On Tuesday I went along to another Norfolk Netwalking event at Mattishall and, as one does at these occasions, met another really interesting person. Jackie Willis runs Care Motoring.

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been busily seeking out networking opportunities in Norfolk.  As a result, this week I’ve been to a Norfolk Women on Top lunch.  Next week I’m attending a “Women in Rural Enterprise” (WiRE) meeting and a Women, Research & Enterprise Forum (WREF) workshop at UAE, which I found [...]

Networking with social entrepreneurs

A few months ago I decided that I had to make a concerted effort to get out and meet people in order to spread the yours2share word. I’ve taken up every networking opportunity I can. The very first was a networking event held by Enterprise Nation in London in early December – it [...]
