Blog: Becta - the answer to UK entrepreneurship
crisis? |
 As
we celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week
one question that has been overlooked is just
"who are these future entrepreneurs"?

crisis" in the sector.

Daksha Kumar brushes off retirement to launch
a food empire |

her range through select Tesco stores.
