Women in Rural Enterprise (WiRE); as part of the Enterprising
Women Project in the East of England, has set up 15 rural business
networks across the region. These networks are for women who are
running or thinking of running a rural business. The groups meet to
do business together, exchange ideas, share experiences, listen to
experts, and explore ways of working together to develop their
businesses.
|
|
These network meetings are fully funded as part of the Enterprising
Women Project until December 2007 and will continue as part of
the WiRE membership package. WiRE membership costs
just £30
and includes a range of business services, including network
meetings, to help women start and grow a rural business.For more information or to join
