Women like you participate in these workshops, sharing and learning with and from each other and the trainer.

From September 2006 weíll be rolling out our FREE business and personal growth workshops across Beds, Herts and Essex as part of the East of England Enterprising Women Programme funded by EEDA and ESF. These workshops are free to women living or running their business in Beds, Herts and Essex, who have been in business for 1 to 3 years. If this isnít you, get in touch anyhow and weíll try to accommodate you or see if we can point you in the right direction!
