About me

I have 15 years’ experience working on complex business support programmes for startups and SMEs and currently work as Enterprise and Incubation Co-ordinator for the Launch Space business incubator, situated in the University Enterprise Zone on UWE Bristol’s Frenchay Campus. Launch Space provides fully-funded support for aspiring entrepreneurs and early-stage tech startups, including desk space, 1-1 business mentoring, group coaching and workshops.

Since joining the university in 2010, I have worked on a range of projects focused on startups, innovation and company growth, and I have coordinated the allocation of more than £4million grant funding to small businesses across the South West. These roles ensured best practice, programme governance and compliance, and monitoring of budgets, while providing a high-quality service to business founders and stakeholders and comprehensive reporting to programme funders.
