After setting our business, Better Brand Agency, we spoke to a number of poeple across the North East about support available to new and aspiring businesses across the region.

I was already aware of the Entrepreneurs Forum, and had always wanted to get more involved, so thats what we have done. We had some great conversations with the team at Forum and are really excited about not only joining the forum, but supporting their campaign across the north east to help aspiring entrepreneurs, If We Can You Can.

More about the Entrepreneurs Forum:

The Entrepreneurs´ Forum was created in 2002 by a group of the North East region´s leading business people. The idea was simple – to create a cross sector peer–group of like minded individuals who could share ideas, knowledge, inspiration and opportunities in a confidential environment. A non trading environment where real business is discussed and introductions are welcomed.
