Council Hosts Final Entrepreneurs Network Meeting
Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council have hosted the final Entrepreneurs Network meeting of its 2016-2017 schedule entitled 'Turning the Ordinary into the Extraordinary'.
Over 65 local businesses attended the annual event to hear from Fraser Doherty MBE, founder of SuperJam and one of the UK's best known and award winning entrepreneurs; and Mr Richard Johnston, Business Development Executive for Jumping Jack products from Cyril Johnston & Company Ltd.
The Mayor, Councillor Tim Morrow officially welcomed everyone to the Entrepreneurs Network event. He said: "There is a strong network between the Council and local businesses which has contributed to investment in Lisburn Castlereagh. The Council area has seen a high level of start-up businesses over recent years; and I encourage local businesses to continue to engage with the Council to obtain support for the development and growth of your business."
Councillor Uel Mackin, former Chairman of the Development Committee added: "It was a privilege to hear from two inspirational entrepreneurs who have achieved success through sheer determination, drive and ambition. I am sure many of our guests will go away freshly inspired and with a renewed determination to achieve their entrepreneurial dream.
"The Council through its Business Solutions Team offers a wide range of assistance to help local companies achieve their true potential. It is currently developing its new Entrepreneur Network schedule that will commence again in September 2017, and welcomes any ideas for speakers and topics from our business community to provide a first-class programme going forward."
