I gave my first talk in Burton to the newly established Burton WiRE  group, (WiRE stands for Women in Rural Enterprise). I felt very pleased but also nervous about delivering the first talk to WiRE, I wanted to get across the journey that Bags2riches has taken me on and how in part you have to be as creative with your approach to business as with the actual product. Determination and adapting to the environment is what keeps the business developing. I’m not sure that I got this across, but we did then have a chance to network in a fun and relaxed manor as everyone had a go at  making some Button box jewellery.
