"It is great to see so many women taking their first steps into self employment. The Opening Doors course not only helps to lay the foundations, but provides an opportunity to mix with like-minded women at a similar stage in their business journey, which can be invaluable" states Sarah Roberts, Business Development Manager at WiRE.
"The Opening Doors course was great and covered all aspects of starting a business. WiRE has a relaxed atmosphere and within a small group, I had the opportunity to ask lots of questions. If you have the opportunity to attend the course before starting in business, do so" Naz Sanderson who has recently started her business Red Hen Cookery Ltd which has grown rapidly.
