This project is part funded by Invest Northern Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund under the Investment for Growth & Jobs Northern Ireland (2014-2020) Programme. The one-hour virtual workshop will provide honest and inspirational insights from successful entrepreneurs aimed at inspiring local people to take that first step to starting their own business.

Hosted by radio presenter, Cate Conway, the webinar will include an interview with Dave Linton, the founder of MadLug, about how he conquered his fears to launch his business, selling predominantly rucksacks and holdalls, to help give dignity to children in care. While Laura Irwin, co-founder of Nobles Spaces, will give an insight into completing the Go For It Programme, alongside her father, and not letting the coronavirus pandemic stop them in their pursuit of launching their business.
