Rural Business Women
Recognising women entrepreneurs in rural Scotland.
The project recognises and highlights the place of rural business women as entrepreneurs within the Scottish rural economy, providing them with the skills to participate within industry groups and trade associations, such as NFUS, to become rural business ambassadors
In the first year, 2010 to 2011, we helped 75 women from across five remote rural areas of Scotland - Argyll & Bute, Ayrshire, Dumfries & Galloway, Fife, Perth & Kinross and Forth Valley.
This year (2011 to 2012) we are looking to help a further 45 business women from the Highlands & Islands, Morayshire and the Shetland Isles to develop their business and leadership skills.
For just £90 plus VAT women can attend:
- A whole series of seminars on finance, sales and marketing, knowledge transfer, networking, diversification and succession planning
- The Royal Highland Show
- An annual conference, where attendees will have an opportunity to listen to inspirational speakers, meet entrepreneurs and celebrate successes of rural business women.
The Business Skills for Rural Business Women 2010 to 2012 project was approved under the Scottish Rural Development Programme - Skills Development Scheme with partners such as NFUS, SRPBA AND STFA supplying match funding and working with us on the project.
