The event is being delivered by Doug Richard’s (formerly of Dragons’ Den) School of Startups. They have very kindly made available a number of free tickets especially for UNLOCK members. This must-attend event is for aspiring social/ethical entrepreneurs as well as existing small social/ethical businesses wishing to grow and become more successful and sustainable.
