During our annual celebration, we’ll be hosting an interview
with true local entrepreneur turned celebrity chef, Nisha Katona. This will be
followed by a panel discussion with more inspiring local women in business, to
discuss their journey to success and advice.
Back in 2014, Nisha Katona was a child protection Barrister who
chose to risk the roof over her head and all her security in pursuit of
launching the first Mowgli on Bold Street. Nisha said: “We opened on a road that just had Leaf trading 4 years ago and my view
was that even if we took the crumbs from Leaf's table, that would do. But this
city of mine is a kingmaker. Liverpool with her open mind and open arms took
this food and ran with it.”
Now, Nisha is the proud owner of six restaurants, has released
three books, regularly films for BBC, ITV & Channel 4 and oversees a food-empire
that just keeps growing.
Join us for this interesting event in partnership with
Natwest when we will be quizzing Nisha on how she has built her food empire. If
you are a reluctant business owner, suffering from imposter syndrome or buzzing
with a passion for business and just wanting to know how to keep growing and
developing – then this is one not to miss!
Join us on Wednesday 14th November aka 'Women's
Entrepreneurship Day' 1.30-4pm at 54 St James Street.
Tickets are £5 for business club members and £10 for
non-members. Your ticket cost will go back to supporting the valuable work of
The Women's Organisation to support women's economic development.
This event is brought to you in partnership with
NatWest!
Free NatWest
business Accelerator programme lands in Liverpool
The NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator gives businesses the power to start, scale and succeed via 12 hubs and other satellite locations across the UK. More than 5,000 have already passed through the fully-funded programmes and as of 2017 more than 80% were still trading.
Liverpool is to become the first satellite location to host
a bespoke Pre-Accelerator programme. The Pre-Accelerator is aimed at early
stage businesses and entrepreneurs looking to validate their businesses or grow
a customer base. The NatWest Pre-Accelerator is being run with the support of
the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership.
The programme focuses on the key driver to success – the
entrepreneur themselves – guidance, support and challenge are provided by the
bank’s trained coaches at a kick off ‘Ignition’ event to be held at First Ark in Liverpool
on Tuesday 20 November 2018. Entrepreneurs then follow a rigorous but
informative eight-week online eLearning journey.
The
Pre-Accelerator is fully funded by NatWest, and the bank takes no
equity in any business, so it’s free to any entrepreneur that wishes to apply,
and they don’t have to be NatWest customers.
