Daniel Evans,

Birmingham Enterprise Community

Met with Chris Gourlay

Birmingham Enterprise Community (BEC) is an award-winning social enterprise with the goal of building a collaborative and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem catering to the needs of those within it.

By working with those in the wider West Midlands community, BEC is able to create new opportunities and open resources to use in order to create positive change through enterprise and entrepreneurial activities.

BEC does this through a range of initiatives designed to support entrepreneurs from idea through to scale – providing them with access to the knowledge, tools and resources they need at each stage of their journey.

BEC runs an accelerator and programmes to assist entrepreneurs build sustainable organisations.

My mentoring session with Chris really helped me to see my business from a new perspective. We were able to uncover the potential root cause of the problem and spot new opportunities for the business to move forward and grow.
