SUMMARY:Think Big, Start Small: Business Start-up Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The “Think Big, Start Small” workshop is presented by Eric McBean, founder of the award-winning startup, Squosh Compacting Company.\nThis workshop is designed to help develop your big idea by starting small.

Eric is a true social entrepreneur with nearly 20 years’ experience supporting others to develop their ideas and start-up in business. As the Lead for Enterprise & Innovation, Eric helped to start and support over 300 businesses and social enterprises across the Northwest of England with one going on to be awarded the Kings Award for Voluntary Service ( Women With Wings). Eric ensured start-ups had access to funding, support and premises.\nEric is a qualified Business Advisor, an accomplished Business Mentor and an accredited Business Coach.\nSquosh Compacting Company is the UK’s first mobile compacting service dedicated to communal bins.
