Women Mean Business - Celebration

In January, I attended a special presentation evening to celebrate the success of the 'Women Mean Business' programme that was organised by Westward Training in Exeter. Along with the others who completed the programme, I was presented with a certificate in 'Evaluating Ideas for a Small Business', by Sue Bickley and Angela Lowe of Westward Training and Judy Spiers of BBC Radio Devon. I was very proud to attend with their many successful women entrepreneurs, and would like to thank both Sue Bickley and Angela Lowe for their help, and for including me in the programme.
