Young Liberal Entrepreneurs Network to bring together young entrepreneurs with business people

By | Sat 26th November 2016 - 5:24 pm

Young Liberal Entrepreneurs networkLiberal Youth will launch the first in a series of Young Liberal Entrepreneurs Network events this Monday. “Be Your Own Boss” brings together the next generation of business tycoons with established Lib Dem entrepreneurs.  The event will explore techniques young entrepreneurs can use to found a successful start-up.

“Be Your Own Boss” will take place at University College London with speakers including founder of Think publishing, Tilly McAuliffe, managing director of Tancroft Communications Ltd., John Duggan and co-founder of Charlie HR, Ben Gately.

The event follows the release of the government’s Autumn Statement detailing an expected rise in unemployment which is likely to hit young people the hardest. Brexit represents a massive threat to businesses and jobs. For young people brimming with innovative ideas but disillusioned by a stagnating job market, the Lib Dems remain a beacon of hope.

Lib Dem Leader Tim Farron said:

Those who take the chance to set out on their own and create a business should be celebrated and supported.

The Lib Dems’ legacy of support for entrepreneurs has seen over 100,000 people benefit from the New Enterprise Allowance while they get their business off the ground and a further £400 million invested in the British Business Bank to support smaller businesses.

Free tickets for the event are available here.

* Liberal Youth is the organisation representing youth and students in the Liberal Democrats
