Successful advice night

Nov 14 2008 by Gordon Bannerman, Perthshire Advertiser Friday

PERTHSHIRE Chamber of Commerce is presenting a “Mentoring Magic” event on November 26.

If you’ve ever wondered how others started up their business and overcame problems to successfully grow and expand, this could provide the answers.

This is a chance to meet four local entrepreneurs who will talk about their own experiences of developing their business and how, with the guidance of a business mentor, they coped with the issues and barriers to growth.

They are Anne Smith of Castlecroft Securities; Olav Skretteberg of Broxwood; Hayley Allcoat of 1st for Balloons; and Jamie Doak of Agri-Fab Engineering Service.

This inspirational, free seminar, which is open to all businesses, is part of the Business Mentoring Programme provided by Perthshire Chamber of Commerce and will be held at the Algo Business Centre in Perth’s Glenearn Road from 5.30-7.30pm (refreshments included).
