A Successful First Month for Boost Your Start-Up!
Our Boost Your Start-Up course with James Court launched in the middle of September to success! We had a full house of visitors at James Court’s first workshop, leading to a hugely insightful day for those who came, which continued on through the rest of the month’s workshops and webinars.
Entrepreneur Becki Higgins said:
‘Really enjoyed the first session this morning and it was so nice to walk in and find so many familiar faces! I just adore being surrounded by so much positive energy, so many amazing brains to soak up and learn from, always leaves me freshly motivated and raring to go.’
There’s so much to look forward to throughout October, so we encourage you to peruse the rest of our Boost Your Start-Up events, visit our website for the full calendar of events, and get your tickets via Eventbrite.
