EB Roadshow Birmingham

It was a real treat to go to Birmingham and the prestigious Council House for the final stop of the EB Roadshow supported by NatWest.

Hosted for the second time by the delightful Heather Waters of NatWest, who warmly welcomed everyone. 

After introductions from Helene Martin Gee we had a update on the exciting progress of the Economic Blueprint from Jill Pay. 

It was great to hear from two top keynote speakers, firstly Craig Tracey MP, Chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary group for Women & Enterprise who gave us an insight into the work of the APG and the importance Government is placing on female entrepreneurs and SMEs.

Our second keynote speaker was the inspiring Jodi Cook, founder of JC Social Media and co-founder of Clever Tykes. Jodie’s business story was super exciting to hear. Jodie began her business straight from Uni and now has a team of 18 and many major international clients!

Ideas flowed from the roundtables chaired by Deb Blisson, Debbie Assinder, Sarah Cooper Jones, Dipika Mistry and Sue Lawton; these were shared with the panel of Heather Waters, Jodie Cook and Vanda Green.
