Welcome to our very first edition of 2023! I hope you’re having a wonderful beginning to a very enterprising year ahead!!

This month we heard from IOEE Academy, Entrepreneurs Unlocked who have been undertaking amazing work supporting veterans back in to self employment and employment. We also welcome new Academy Curge Hill College to our network who shall be utilising IOEE programme recognition to benefit their students.

We continue to champion mentoring as a fantastic tool for small businesses and this month feature a mentoring case study and article demonstrating the value and benefits mentoring can bring.

Our SFEDI business support qualifications are featured within this article demonstrating how accreditation can be used within a higher education setting to develop and recognise colleagues offering business start up guidance and support.

Our members continually ask for guidance with social media and this month we feature an article on using algorithims effectively in online marketing.

Finally we are delighted to welcome back contributor Valentina Lorenzon who discusses the value of lifelong learning, something we absolutely back - particularly for small businesses.

We hope you enjoy this edition and look forward to supporting you further in 2023.
