launchpad-2013-350px ‌‌Budding entrepreneurs received a crash-course in starting their own business in August, thanks to the Student Enterprise Team 
‌who developed Keele Launchpad, the first ever FREE 2-day business bootcamp at Keele. 

Participants learned the essentials about business planning, financial planning and record-keeping, tax, marketing, sales and more.

The event has proved hugely popular with 45 attendees, many of whom are returning graduates from MMU, Chester University, Sheffield Hallam, Royal Holloway, Winchester, DeMontfort University and more, along with 17 exhibitors and key speakers, including Howard Tomlinson, co-creator of the popular game Bejewelled, from Astraware Ltd and ex SPEED student Kath Warrilow of Cupcake Yourself.

Another 2-day Launchpad may be run again next  Summer, you can register your interest by emailing j.leake@keele.ac.uk and you will be sent further launchpad 90x90 details nearer the time.
