Making your business more accessible to disabled-led businesses
We are delighted to be joined by Michelle Ovens, Founder at Small Business Britain. Michelle will be sharing with us their latest work on The Lilac Review, providing us with insights on why they started The Lilac Review, what it is, what they have found out so far, and how you can get involved.
Estimates suggests that improving opportunity for disabled founders could unlock an additional £230 billion for the UK economy. Disabled entrepreneurs currently account for approximately 25% of the nation’s 5.5 million small businesses. Come along to find out more!
This event will operate using the ‘Chatham House’ rule.
