Sheffield’s MADE Entrepreneur Festival has become a fixture in the city’s calendar of business events, with a lineup of speakers and workshops attracting an enthusiastic audience not only from the city, but from across the UK.
In today’s Business Live radio show Andrew Wilson, projects director at the BE Group (organisers of the MADE Festival), joined me to talk about some of the speakers and features at this year’s event.
After the interview with Andrew, listeners had another chance to hear my interview recorded at the 2014 MADE Festival with sauce entrepreneur and musician Levi Roots.
Today’s show also featured a new interview recorded yesterday by Sheffield Live’s Kathryn Smiles with Janet Skirrow, chief executive of Zest, a Sheffield social enterprise, about a new women-only gym.
