A champion of female entrepreneurs, in 2017 Alison founded The National Womenâs Enterprise Network (NWEN), with the aim of supporting and encouraging women throughout the UK to start their own business.
NWENâs principle activities are the âMake It Your Businessâ www.makeityourbusiness.co.uk events, website and online advice forum. It is also a campaigning platform for change, working closely with government and entrepreneurship groups around the UK.
