Maeve Monaghan loves making money.
It’s what she does with it that makes her business different. She heads Now Group which is a social enterprise, so her profits get reinvested in her cause - helping young people with learning difficulties and autism to find meaningful employment. She never begs, she delivers. She delivers for the many businesses who buy her products and services and she delivers for the thousands of people with learning difficulties and autism whose lives are transformed. On Trading Up this week she makes clear that it’s time for social enterprises - who have a combined turnover of £78 billion in the UK - to throw the begging bowl away and focus on delivering what business, or government wants. Angela McGowan joins the lively discussion.
