Save the date - Female Entrepreneurship event!
On Wednesday 24 October Paula Fitzsimons will be speaking at an event organised as part of the Chamber's Female Mentoring project.

The event will also offer early-stage female entrepreneurs the opportunity to arrange a short one-to-one meeting with a mentor, in order to ask advice on a specific aspect of their business.
