Testimonial
“Rosie joined us a guest Speaker at the OXWISE (Oxfordshire Women in Social Enterprise) group at the Oxfam Superstore in January. Rosie is a versatile and inspiring speaker, combining considerable knowledge and experience with really practical suggestions from her work on ‘A Rosie Life’ and ‘Indie Oxford’. Her personable approach, knowledge and networks really contributed to the support of our start-ups on their own entrepreneurial journeys. We hope we’ll be able to build on the partnership with her and Indie Oxford in future”
