Penarth woman secures support to expand business idea inspired by mum's cancer battle
A PENARTH woman has secured a place on a new programme designed to help people overcome the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic after starting her own business inspired by her mother.
24-year-old Catherine Williams beat entrepreneurs from across Wales to secure a place on the Excelerator Programme, which will see 23 people from under-represented groups take part in a Welsh Government-funded 12-week immersive accelerator programme.
The aim is to help them launch and grow their business idea or scale an existing business.
Ms Williams is the founder of O’Honni, a luxurious lingerie brand for women who have had mastectomies and lumpectomies as part of breast cancer treatment.
