Online Talk to SME Supporting Growth Community

When I asked Anna if she would give a short talk or presentation to an online Business support group – she was beyond helpful and packed so much thought provoking information into it. I really have never come across anyone who does what Anna does and what she is doing is so important and certain aspects of it are so easily just not thought about.

I would highly recommend Anna to anyone who runs support groups for businesses, start ups or established and I know her online and in person workshops offer amazing value and could literally save your business one day.

I am so glad that this lady is now a part of my network thank you Anna.

‘Anna presented at our Academia-Industry networking event and it was a great presentation. Really clear explanation of the problems around protecting your IP, especially if you haven’t properly considered the issue. It is easy to see protecting IP as too complicated or too expensive.
