Entrepreneurs’ Network Event – April – Purpose-led businesses

Our Start and Grow Enterprise Entrepreneurs’ Network events run monthly, from 5.30-7.30pm, for Gloucestershire based entrepreneurs and SMEs. We feature a different guest speaker with a different focus each time. This month’s event is all about purpose-led businesses, social enterprises, and sustainable businesses that make a difference locally or globally.

These brilliant events offer a chance to gain valuable tips and insights from other start-ups and entrepreneurs.

You’ll connect and share skills, and hear about the support available to your new or growing business from Start and Grow Enterprise, University of Gloucestershire, and more.

Refreshments are provided, and parking is available on-site (for £2 for the day by card).

Details of this month’s speaker

Hear from Lizzie George, founder and owner of Create on the Square. Lizzie will be sharing her experience, insight and knowledge around starting and running a social enterprise. The support Lizzie received from Start and Grow Enterprise has helped her along the way.

Create on the Square offers free co-working space, hot drinks and light bites, and cheap parking at 30p per hour. They run regular networking sessions where social entrepreneurs can share ideas and inspire each other, and the space can be used as a virtual office service.

We’ll also find out how Lizzie helps to support new entrepreneurs who follow the values of a social enterprise. Lizzie has a particular interest in sustainable products that will do their bit to help sustain our planet.
