Last night we launched our third report - The Future of Female Entrepreneurship: Strategies for Scaling Up 📈 Thanks to everyone who came along to celebrate the wonderful work of our Business Board, academic partners and #femaleentrepreneurs who led the research for the report.
Welcome to @LeighInghamMP, one of our new Co-Chairs!
Leigh is the @uklabour MP for Stafford, a passionate advocate for women and girls, and is a fantastic new champion for us 📈
Welcome to @aphrabrandreth, one of our new Officers!
Aphra is an entrepreneur and the @conservatives MP for Chester South and Eddisbury, and we’re really pleased to have her on board.
Welcome to @tweetingcollins, one of our new Officers!
Victoria is an entrepreneur, the @libdems MP for Harpenden and Berkhamsted, and the spokesperson for Science, Innovation and Technology. She’ll be a great voice for women in the industry.
👋Delighted to greet MPs, Peers & the Business Board at our first meeting of this Parliament to elect our new officers last week
♀️ Our mission is to boost female entrepreneurship & work with parliamentarians & industry to tackle barriers business women all over the country face
Fantastic to see @biztradegovuk Secretary & Equalities Minister @KemiBadenoch celebrating this Government’s work supporting #femaleentrepreneurs, and her meeting last week with this APPG to tackle the barriers facing women growing their businesses in the UK.
Fantastic to hear Chancellor Jeremy Hunt acknowledge in his Budget speech on Wednesday that London has just ‘pipped’ New York and 53 other global cities to be the best place in the world for #female#entrepreneurs. 🧵🧵🧵
It’s now vital the Government continues to support working women. So it was great to see further measures unveiled by the Chancellor yesterday, which will likely transform the lives of many working women 👶🤵♀️📕
These progressive initiatives from the Government makes our ongoing work at the APPG ever more important, and we look forward to building on this momentum with the release of our next report 💪💪💪
Excellent speech by @RishiSunak for #WomeninBusiness today. By championing women we can add £250 billion to our economy. Honoured to be part of this brilliant appg for women in enterprise chaired by the brilliant @craig4nwarks
