“I first discovered BIPC Devon having done some research for business support in the area and made contact with the local team in June 2021. The business support provided by the BIPC, including the ‘She Started It’ programme has been fantastic…from providing support around building personal confidence as a female founder in business, right through to the practicalities involved in running a business.”
