Female entrepreneurs get free information session

Lisburn Entrepreneurs Network (LEN) offers a free information session entitled ‘InterAct’ for female entrepreneurs.

LEN is a discussion forum, which offers free networking events and practical information sessions to a large business audience.

Alderman Jim Dillon, Chairman of the Council’s Economic Development Committee, said that he was pleased that LEN was organising the event for women who manage a busy work and home life.

“I am very pleased that LEN has organised an event for female entrepreneurs, many of whom may be managing a very busy work and home life,” he said.

“The InterAct session will promote entrepreneurship and assist those who attend to enhance their brand and profile.

“It will also provide these entrepreneurs an excellent networking opportunity to meet with their peers in the Lisburn area.

“I would encourage as many female entrepreneurs as possible to avail of this opportunity to hear a range of guest speakers talk about the business sector. LEN events typically attract a large audience of local business people and remain popular dates in the Council’s economic development calendar,” he concluded.

LEN is funded by Lisburn City Council and the European Sustainable Competitiveness Programme 2007-2013.

The InterAct event will take place from 9.30am to 11.00am with a light breakfast being provided. The expert guest speakers at InterAct are Nuala Foley of Full Circle and Andrew Dobbin of The Business Mindset; and they will talk on ‘Sales and Exporting’ and ‘Networking for Business Growth’ respectively.

At the event two local businesses have the opportunity to promote their business in a two-minute ‘business spotlight’ slot.
