Our founder, Rosemary Forsyth, spent yesterday at the House of Commons, for the launch of the new All Party Parliamentary Group for Entrepreneurship.
Launched by Business Secretary Sajid Javid, this cross-party group of MPs is designed to act as a bridge between entrepreneurs and policy-makers, to ensure that the voices of entrepreneurs are heard in parliament. In the first 12 months, the focus will be on 4 key areas of policy: tax reform, exporting, enterprise education, and female entrepreneurship.
