Debbie, Pennie and Elizabeth
Today’s Business Live radio show featured studio guests Elizabeth Shassere, Debbie Cundy and Pennie Raven – plus news about Social Enterprise UK’s State of Social Enterprise Survey 2015.
This summer, The University of Sheffield will bring people together to launch new products and services that aim to solve problems and meet needs in the ever-changing literature and music industries. The event is called Startup Weekend and is the sixth to be held in Sheffield.
Elizabeth Shassere is the co-organiser of Startup Weekend Sheffield – and has herself launched two startups, Textocracy and Appointment Doctor. Startup Weekend will “combine literature, music, technology, and entrepreneurship to create new innovations in these industries.”
Debbie Cundy is a personal performance coach with her niche being weight loss management. Debbie has first-hand experience in this area, losing 12 stones in weight. Successful business woman, feature writer and qualified chef, Debbie has overcome many challenges in her life to achieve her own goals.
And Pennie Raven – well known co-organiser of PechaKucha Sheffield – has recently launched new real-time crowdfund pitching event, Sheffield SOUP. Pennie shared insights about her career path and moving from the corporate world to becoming a community catalyst.
