Community catch up
Hey! Here’s what’s happening in the Enterprise Nation community this week
This week, we have an ‘Ask me anything’ with Enterprise Nation CEO Aaron Asadi, we’re spotlighting member Suze Cook, and we welcome more new members in the community forum.
What the community are saying
From the impact of late payments on female-owned businesses to the barriers holding back trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Andy Burnham’s call for "good growth in every postcode". Here's a snapshot of the conversations shaping the Enterprise Nation community forum this week.
Here’s what you’ve got on your mind at the moment.

Meet member Suze Cook, founder of Fledging Work
Enterprise Nation member Suze Cook is the founder of Fledgling Work, a platform that acts as a matchmaker between small businesses and talented young people, helping them secure paid projects, placements and flexible work opportunities.
For businesses, it provides an affordable and low-risk way to access skills they may not otherwise be able to afford. For young people, it creates something many struggle to obtain: real experience.
