Are you a woman in business or always dreamed about launching your own business but just need some advice?

Next Friday July 9, Rutland MP Alicia Kearns is hosting several inspirational female entrepreneurs from around Rutland and Melton for a public Q&A with homewares businesswoman Alison Cork.

Those taking part also include Jane Gray, a high flyer in banking and law.

The MP said: "She had the bug to set up her own business – and now runs one of the market leaders in Rutland."

@Stray's coffee is "now an institution" – and Jane will be joining with the MP along with @LunaRayn, another a wonderful business, which is based in Melton.

Mrs Kearns added: "The event is free, and if you know a woman in your life who wants to start their own business or already have, please encourage them to attend!"
