Welcome to the WiRE East of England e-Newsletter

 
 

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.

Julia

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
