An evening of inspiration and networking as successful business owners discuss how they used their skills to start their business.

We all have passions in life, whether it's playing sport, making crafts or supporting those that need it most. As entrepreneurs, we're always looking for that next business idea - often it's as easy as bringing your passion and skills together and building them into a business.

Join us for our latest Start-up Stars event with BIPC Greater Manchester to hear stories and insights from our panel of successful entrepreneurs as they look back on their business journeys, exploring how they got started, the challenges they overcame and how they used their skills to bring their business to life.

Expect an evening that will leave you ready to start up and grow your own small business!

Our panel will be announced over the coming weeks.

Start-up Stars is a series of quarterly events where scale-up graduates from the Get Ready for Business Growth programme and our previous scale-up programme share their expertise with aspiring entrepreneurs.
