Nichola continued.
“A recent report published by the Federation of Small Businesses; Entrepreneurial North has highlighted the challenges we continue to face as small business owners. I believe it’s more important now than ever to connect and support each other and make ourselves heard so I’m bringing the people who have helped us to Blackpool so they can help you too”
Kicking the day off is Money Matters LIVE hosted by Blackpool Expo’s very own Business Warrior Chris Brown, President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) for Lancashire & South Lakeland, and managing director and founder of Brown & Co.

During this workshop, attendees can receive real-time feedback and guidance from the experts to help solve their specific marketing and sales challenges on the spot.
Another highly anticipated part of the event is the live panel session “Small Business, Big Mindset: Realise Your Full Potential” where attendees can expect to walk away with actionable insights and strategies that can be immediately applied to their business and personal life.
Hosted by Naomi Timperley, this panel discussion is tailored specifically towards micro and small business owners who juggle many responsibilities, roles, and duties but need to stay focused on the end goal.

I am thrilled about the opportunity to sit on the Mindset panel and share my expertise with the audience”
