๐ŸŽ“ We had a great time at the Global Banking School Careers Fair in Manchester yesterday!

Our advisors, Vikki Bradbury and Brian Cresswell, had a great time meeting students and sharing practical advice on self-employment and starting your own business.

It was fantastic to speak with so many aspiring entrepreneurs, answer their questions and help them explore what it could look like to turn an idea into a business.

A big thank you to Lee Harding for organising the event and inviting us along. It was a pleasure to be part of the day. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Our Enterprise Team came together at Rochdale AFC yesterday for a team away day.

Bringing together colleagues from GM Business Growth Hubโ€™s EnterprisingYou, Growth, Access to Finance, Social Value and Scaling programmes, the day was a chance to step away from our day-to-day work, learn more about the support being delivered across the team, share successes and catch up with colleagues old and new.

It also gave us the opportunity to explore how we can work more closely together and continue building strong connections across the different programmes that make up the Enterprise Team.

๐Ÿ“ธ Great to get nearly the whole Enterprise Team together in one photo, with just a few colleagues unable to make it. Bonus points if you can spot the proud winner of our ice-breaker bingo full house, Byron Manning, holding onto the trophy! ๐Ÿ†
