Entrepreneurs and budding businesspeople from Blaen-y-maes, Portmead, Penplas, and Cadle are set to get expert advice on securing “professional success and sustainability” at a major Swansea networking event next week.
The Penderi Business Breakfast, which will take place on Wednesday May 25th, is open to small business owners, and those looking to set up a business, from each of these areas collectively known as Penderi.
Attendees to the event, which will take place at Venue no1 on Carmarthen Road from 8am, will get the opportunity to meet likeminded industry experts and receive vital industry support, information, and funding advice.
The event being run by not-for-profit housing association Pobl’s Penderi Green Regeneration project, will feature speakers from Focus Futures, Room to Grow, and Swansea Environment Centre. The regeneration project is aiming to positively transform the lives of people living in Penderi, with initiatives including regeneration of its green spaces, and supporting environmentally friendly business growth.
Advice and support around growing a more sustainable business will be discussed by speakers at the event.
Lisa Brown, Economy and Enterprise Lead at Pobl, said she was delighted to be bringing together some of Swansea’s most influential business experts with a host of exciting new entrepreneurs for this event.
She said: “We are thrilled to be hosting this major networking event, which will unite likeminded businesspeople and budding entrepreneurs from across the city.
“We believe the event will be hugely beneficial for start-ups looking for crucial advice and support, and to enable them to make vital professional connections as they begin to navigate the business world.
“Our speakers will also be sharing vital advice on how to make your business more environmentally friendly and sustainable as it grows, which will be particularly exciting and informative for those in attendance.
“We would like to thank Focus Futures, Room to Grow, and Swansea Environment Centre for taking part in the event and for generously lending their support to the regeneration project.
“We would urge anyone who is interested in attending to register as soon as possible.”
Attendees will have access to parking and will also be treated to breakfast while they network.
