Thoroughly enjoyed chairing this morning's Insider Media North East Growth Agenda Breakfast. Over 100 people attended the event held at Newcastle's County Hotel who heard from two panels of expert speakers. The various funding options for NE businesses were highlighted and some practical tips were provided on how these can be accessed. We heard from Rebecca MacDermid James Katirai Julie C. and Duncan Reid who guided us through debt, equity and other funding options and the advice available. Following some thoughts from Simon Cunnington and Sarah Newbould, we then broadened the regional growth debate, hearing the insights from Michelle Duggan Emma Banks Peter Oram and Roy Sandbach OBE FRSC. A report with quotes from all speakers to follow. Thanks to British Business Bank North of England Weightmans and WEAREUMi for sponsoring the event and to all our superb speakers.
