Interview

I’m really excited to be joining Building Brand Equity, having previously graduated from the CFE’s Accelerate programme. I feel my business is at the right stage to benefit from really targeted advice on equity, and hope to use the programme to make a plan for securing funding to push our growth over the next three years.
