Enterprise Heroes events
Lord Digby Jones, Will Ashworth, Laura Tenison MBE, Lucy Jewson, Deirdre Bounds, Sarah Trethowan, Shaa Wasmund, Hugh Ridgway, Sahar Hasemi, Nick Hurst, Amanda Barlow, BJ Cunningham – our Enterprise Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, from around the globe to right here on our doorstep.
Every few months we invite the best of business talent to Cornwall to share their experiences, challenges and insight with you. Through the Enterprise Heroes events, our aims are to give you:
- a handful of tips to take away and apply to your business
- motivation and (maybe) a spark of inspiration
- the opportunity to meet our Enterprise Heroes and learn from their experiences in business
- new connections with like-minded peers in the Cornish business community
- and some time away from your desk to work on your business not in your business.
We have a golden rule: whenever we bring a person into Cornwall to share their insight, we ensure that they are supported by equally inspiring people from our own business world. We’re proud of all our local businesses have achieved, and by bringing local enterprise heroes to your intention, seek to inspire you to take that first exploratory step with a new idea.
We’re also busy working with other event organisers, such as Agile on the Beach to bring to Cornwall speakers who are at the cutting edge of their industry and who will inspire, motivate and inform. This collaborative approach means that we are able to support private initiatives, bringing the best business events to a wider audience, and offering support to achieve the next steps you take from the event.
Hundreds of Cornish business leaders have attended one of our Enterprise Heroes events, make sure you’re there for the next. Sign up for regular updates on our upcoming events.

Unlocking Potential is a GAIN service.
