Catch Up with Louise McSharry
Bonus Catch Up with Visa's She's Next Grant Programme Winners Claire Fullam and Marian Kennedy
On this bonus episode, brought to you by Visa's She's Next Grant Programme, I catch up with two of last years' grant recipients: Claire Fullam, founder of Remi Scalp Care and Marian Kennedy, founder of Anewmum. I learn about their business journeys, how they benefited from winning Visa's She's Next, and get some advice for those of you who might want to enter this year! I love to learn about women's business experience, so I really enjoyed this chat.
