Natwest and LEP collaboration Launch

I am just popping up an event for you to RSVP to register your interest in attending this event to give me an idea of numbers

Parents of Small Biz Leeds is partnering with Natwest and the Leeds Enterprise Partnership to provide business support and resources to self employed parents who wish to develop their small businesses. This event will launch this collaboration and provide an opportunity for parents who run small businesses to talk to business experts, feedback information to us regarding the obstacles that they face when accessing training or business development tools due to the complications of childcare, and generally the hurdles that you face as self employed parents.

Additionally, we would like to hear about the areas in which you would most like to see training and resources be made available and accessible, and we hope that together we can come up with a flexible programme of business resources designed around POSBLers unique needs.

On top of that, it is an opportunity for you to meet other POSBLers, make friendships and potential collaborative relationships and we will be offering a short workshop and the opportunity to take home some professional branding photos for your website and social media.
