Relevant people in relevant places
These informal and honest sessions feature a panel of business owners who’ll open up about the approaches they’ve taken to tackle common challenges and make positive changes. Entrepreneurs who’ve made mistakes, learned lessons and tasted success – and are prepared to share their journey to help yours.
Hosted by Debbie Simpson and John Forth, Business Advisers at North East BIC, Growth Lab Sunderland builds on our hugely popular event series in Darlington.
