Hey! Here’s what’s happening in the Enterprise Nation community this week

This week, we’re getting together for another Food and Drink Founders table, welcoming a new Community Ambassador, and rounding off the week with a Networking Action Lab…

What the community are saying 🗣️

This week, members share their wisdom with the next generation of entrepreneurs, we hear your views on some of the most significant changes to UK employment law, and ambassador Catherine Erdly brings the government’s new high street initiative into focus.

“Launch like you mean it from day 1 - with a strong identity, a strong visual brand to sit behind - it will give you the confidence to sell.” - Jo

“The Employment Rights Act (2025) is being delivered in phases. How would you rank your knowledge of the Act and its key changes?” - Enterprise Nation

“The government announced yesterday that local people and councils will have more say over the shops opening on their high streets.” - Catherine
