Council Hosts Last Business Networking Event Of 2017-18
The last business networking event of the 2017-18 Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council’s Entrepreneurs Network was held on Thursday 31st May with a packed audience in the Civic Centre’s Island Hall.
Lara Morgan, one of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs and founder of portable mood therapy brand Scentered gave her keynote address on the topic 'Selling, Marketing & Maximising Opportunities'. Lara is an internationally-renowned speaker and best-selling business author who was also recently voted in the UK's 10 Most Powerful Businesswomen by MSN Lifestyle.
Former Mayor, Councillor Tim Morrow said: "I am delighted to see this strong network develop between the Council and local business; there are a large number of start-up businesses, established businesses, social enterprises and entrepreneurs within the Council area. I would encourage local businesses to continue to engage with the Council to obtain support for the development and growth of your business."
Alderman Allan Ewart MBE, former Chairman of the Council’s Development Committee, said: "It was a fitting conclusion to this year’s calendar of networking events to have a female entrepreneur like Lara, who has achieved a high level of success through determination, drive and ambition, talk to local businesses. After just 17 years she sold the majority share in her first business for £20 million; and now she invests in companies to which she can add value."
