She has built a business working with producers, innovators and retailers, helping them develop ideas and bring them to market cost effectively.

This practical masterclass will focus on:

  • Creating a business plan you can work with daily that will help you achieve what you want weekly (we will supply simple templates and work through as a group)
  • Managing your time effectively
  • Understanding the key figures for your business and what they tell you
