Proud!

Really delighted for my colleagues in Network Mayo who were nominated, and won the "Businesswomen of the Year" 2010 awards.

I was lucky enough to be a winner and national finalist last year - it's a great experience.

Awards like this, and organisations like Network prove to me that working together can really help develop the grassroots of new business and promote those currently employed or employing.

Eeeek... my first blog post!

Hi all (who may happen upon this blog!) -

I've decided to give blogging a try as I believe I might be able to give help or insight to many of us "bucking" this damned recession!

I'm currently juggling a few roles, all in a bid to develop myself as a business-person, and, more simply... to try to earn a living...

Business is most definitely my passion though I have other interests outside of it - I'm a graduate of the HR variety but have not worked in a large corporate in a few years. I love small business.

Hoping I'll provide you with some insight with a dollop of humour too...
