Create hosted another Enterprise in Heels event last Wednesday. This one took the form of ‘Speed Networking’, a bit like speed dating, but designed to allow groups of students to pick the brains of some of the region’s top female entrepreneurs.

Attendees included Liz Clarke, winner of the Northwest Business Woman of the Year award 2009 and founder of Manchester based social enterprise ‘Bikeright!’, Carolyn Uphill, business mentor and entrepreneur and Nikki Hesford, Lancaster Alumnus and owner of Miss Fit UK, a lingerie and clothing brand for larger chested ladies.

Both the students and the entrepeneurs thoroughly enjoyed the fast-paced event, so much so that we’re already organising the next event (so don’t worry if you missed this one!)

The next event will take place in the Summer term, check the ‘Enterprise in Heels’ event page for more details.
