Michelle Mone: I will not let my entrepreneurs report be buried
Small business czar Michelle Mone has vowed to ensure that her government report into Britain’s start-ups does not “just sit in a drawer”.
“I’m determined to deliver a report that will actually make a difference for start-ups in the UK,” Baroness Mone told a packed audience of entrepreneurs at the Evening Standard Business Connections event at Freemasons’ Hall last night.
The Ultimo founder has been tasked with studying ways to encourage entrepreneurship, particularly in deprived areas by David Cameron.
He recommendations are due to be delivered next June but Mone said she would focus on ways to get start-ups office space, school education in setting up a company and improving business networks.
In a wide-ranging speech, Mone told the audience to “get outside of your comfort zone every day” as she recounted the ups and downs of her career from awards and honours to debt and divorce.
