Host: Claire Driver FSB Development Manager for Lancashire and Cumbria

Speaker: Jane Binnion Founder and MD of The Growing Club CIC

About Jane: "After 20 years as a youth and community worker, a shoulder injury left me, as a single mum, living on £80 a week ESA and worrying that we would lose our home. As a result, I became the most unlikely business owner. But, bringing my years of public sector experience into the world of enterprise worked well. As a trainer I worked with lots of women sole traders who were getting no where fast and facing burnout. That led to us trialling a programme of working with a group of 10 women for a year to support their business growth." Jane Binnion, Founder and MD of The Growing Club CIC.
