Chaired by Sara Davies, Crafters Companion

Delivered via Zoom

To mark Global Entrepreneurship Week 2020, we’ve asked our resident Dragon to chair an event focusing on entrepreneurship and how entrepreneurs are critical to the future success of the UK economy.

Chaired by Sara Davies, Founder of Crafters Companion, and star of BBC Dragon’s Den, and joined by Dr Tim Hammond (Northern Accelerator), Dean Benson (Visualsoft) and Richard Lane (durhamlane), this panel discussion will explore the business trends of today and tomorrow, and how they will revolutionise the way we do business in the North East.
