Pleasure to be invited to the Alan Lewis seed fund awards today. Congratulations to the 4 winners who I am sure will go on to grow their business creating jobs and supporting the local economy. Support and recognition in the early days of any business can only be positive, so thanks to the 3m BIC and the university for organising the event.
