Womenshould bepartofGoing forGrowth

THE call is open for ambitious female entrepreneurs who are looking to scale their businesses to join the latest cycle of Going for Growth, the award-winning business development programme.

Going for Growth is a six-month part-time programme, sponsored by Enterprise Ireland and KPMG, which assists ambitious female entrepreneurs to achieve their growth aspirations.

The programme is calling for female entrepreneurs from Louth to apply for the programme before the deadline of Wednesday, November 28th.

Two past participants on the programme from Louth are Margaret Robb of retail baby store Sweet Little Babies, which is based in Dundalk and fashion designer Niamh O’Neill from Dunleer.

Margaret participated on Going for Growth in 2017 and Niamh was on the latest cycle of Going for Growth. Both would recommend the programme to others.

Niamh O’Neill (pictured) said: “Going for Growth has had a lasting impact on my business. Ambitions for our business are no longer in our heads, but they are on paper and have deadlines for completion. My Lead Entrepreneur challenged me on key areas of my business which has led to me making bigger decisions and taking bigger risks which will pay off.”

Sixty places will be available for this 11th cycle of Going for Growth, which will run from January to June 2018 and the deadline for applications is Wednesday, November 28th. There is no charge for those selected. Anyone interested is encouraged to register their interest in receiving an application form at goingforgrowth.com.
