Wiltshire business owners unable to get tickets for a talk this week by the founder of mother and baby brand JoJo Maman Bébé won’t miss out – thanks to live streaming by organiser The Enterprise Network (TEN).

Laura Tenison’s presentation and networking lunch on Thursday in Trowbridge has proved so popular it is nearly sold out. But TEN is to stream the event to its Enterprise Centre in Royal Wootton Bassett, along with those in Ludgershall and Salisbury, from 12.30pm until 2pm to meet demand.

Laura, pictured, launched JoJo Maman Bébé with start-up capital of just £50,000 and two part-time staff. It is now forecast to have a turnover of £44m in this financial year and employs more than 570 people in its 66 stores nationwide.

She will be joined at the event by Sam Gompels of fast-growing Melksham-based specialist healthcare product wholesaler Gompels HealthCare.

Event organiser Rachel Finlay, from The Enterprise Network, said: “This second event of our Enterprise Series of events for local businesses has already virtually sold out but businesses can come to our other centres and watch the keynote presentation live in the comfort of our networking suites.

“They can join in a live Q&A session using Twitter and stay on to network with local business colleagues while enjoying a free lunch and refreshments.”

Businesses attending the event in Trowbridge can also book free one-to-one advice sessions with experts covering financial planning, developing and protecting new ideas, exporting, selling skills, people management, maximising IT, branding and marketing. There will also be a morning seminar focusing on how to make businesses ‘fit for growth’.

Organised by The Enterprise Network Swindon and Wiltshire, and held at TEN’s White Horse Enterprise Centre just outside Trowbridge, the full day ‘GROW’ event will inspire and support Wiltshire businesses.

The Enterprise Network Swindon and Wiltshire, a £5.2m initiative led by Wiltshire Council with Government and EU funding, is nurturing new and growing small and micro businesses by supporting them right from the first ‘light bulb’ moment.

Its four Enterprise Centres across Wiltshire offer affordable offices, meeting rooms, co-working and networking opportunities alongside free, impartial, business advice.
